Chat..... feature or bug?

I think it's been that way for a long time. Global channels are skipped while zoning. There have been times in the past where even the Team and Tell messages did the same thing, but was fixed.. and I don't recall Global channels ever getting the same love. I miss messages while zoning all the time.
Also, when somebody DCs (from a TF) and logs back in, the name shows back up in the team list, and is usually followed by a few "WB" messages.. but it seems the person doesn't always see those messages either until they are fully (or mostly) zoned. I've logged back in and heard the sound of a Team message, but had nothing in my chat (possibly for a different reason.. because that part of interface has not even loaded for the first time yet at that point?).
Yeah like MB said, this has been going on for a long time (probably since globals were released). It does irk me...sometimes I'm playing/solo'ing and then see a "why don't you answer?" type of question and I go "I missed something here...."

This issue didn't actually appear until they made changes to the chat window so you could set colors for names, paste recipes/salvage etc.
We'll see....

Until just before the Winter Event, Globals were keeping up with the Zoning. Then came the Winter Event, and SPLAT!! went Globals keeping up. *sigh*
It's a real P.I.T.A.

Yeah I seem to vaguely remember this being a bug in the past that was fixed once before.

Nobody ever chats with me so I've never seen this bug. Unless I'm on my 2nd account "roleplaying".
Hey there Fitz, whatcha wearing?

I've PM'ed Arbiter Kim about it to make sure the devs are aware.

If someone sends me a private tell, or says something on the team channel, while I am zoning, I will hear the beep and the message will be visible once I finish zoning. So far, so good.
If someone says something on a global channel while I am zoning, the message is lost in the ether and I will never see it. The reason I noticed this is that when I run both of my accounts at the same time, I have to have them zone one at a time and I will see messages on the 'stationary' account but the messages will never appear on the one that was zoning.
Does anyone know if this is intentional or if there is a reason for it?
If not, I'll drop Arbiter Kim a line about it.
