Double-text in Chat bug

Anyone else ever get this bug while playing tf2? The player chat gets doubled sometimes. I'm wondering if its just me, or the server, or if anyone else has seen this one pop up.

It's been happening for everyone the past couple of months now. I think it started after the Love and War update.

Investigating this now, and I think I might have found the culprit. Before I do anything though, I need some more information on when this happens. Does the player talking have to be dead for their text to double up? Can you see your own text when it doubles up? Does it start or stop at some point, or just double up from the moment you're in the server until you leave?

I'll do some investigating later today bl4nk. I can tell you that it seems to be sporadic though. It doesn't affect all players at all times. And yes I can see my own text when it doubles up.

More things to look for since you say it's sporadic:

Does it only happen at a certain point in the round (wfp, setup, active, bonus, restart, game over, etc)?
Does a change in the round state cause it to stop, once it's already happening?

I'd be testing these things myself, but the internet where I'm staying currently is horrible and I can't hop on the server to figure it out.

From what I've noticed it just happens randomly and maybe with certain people.

I don't think I've had the issue before myself, at least not in a long while.

After doing some testing with mbaxter, I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. I'll see about getting a fix, but for now, you're just going to have to deal with it.

Found a plugin that someone made that did exactly what I was planning on doing. Stuck it on the server yesterday. Let me know if you see any more issues.
