It's still there, Michal baby. If you're chatting, and your last letter is either 'R' or 'F', you either drop your weapon, or start reloading.

Very annoying.

I just tested it, and it doesn't occur. I tried typing a bunch of r's and f's, and nothing happnes.

I am pretty sure you just hit 'r' and 'f' too quick before you press your chat button.

Bah. Michal, please look in to it anyways...it might be random.

Edit: It only happens online...obviously..

Just tested online and offline, it doesn't happen to me. But it might be random like you said, check just in case I guess.

N1nj@, just for fun: do you have a wireless keyboard?

Maybe Ninj@ doesn't use R and F for dropping and reloading? :Q

i just tried it out and i didnt have any bugs.
no wireless keyboard, plus R and F are assigned for reloading\dropping.

Maybe this is fixed, but now there's the problem of throwing your weapon when you throw the flag ;<

No, it also happens offline. I just tried it.

I think it works like that: Start typing, and when you press the last button (like F), press enter immediately. You'll drop your weapon.
Seems like it happens when you press the last button at the same time as enter.
Maybe you can look into it and prevent any things like that from happening while pressing enter?

Edit: I also end up typing "thello" instead of "hello".

i have a wireless keyboard and I do use R and F for dropping and reloading.

But I also tried what b00stA said, still no luck in reproducing this bug.

And I still think all this chat bugs are caused by the speed we typed, maybe Michal can make the key not so sensitive, like when you press 't', it takes a bit longer for it do its action...? maybe?
