Joins and Parts are truncated and appear as jibberish. Using Minefield builds 1/8/2009 build is OK 1/9/2009 build has the issue. I'm using a Chatzilla dev build: > build 0.9.84 - 2008121723 build Parts/Joins look thus: -->| JE (@-B36C4C6..) # Attempts to copy/paste what I see results in a paste of what should be displayed.

Normally a Join looks thus: -->| tchung (tchung@moz-334F2010.mountainview.mozilla.com) has joined #firefox

For a temporary fix, change your motif to one that doesn't use any small-caps.

This bug depends on which motif you use, and a good number make use of small-caps; the resulting display clearly resembles the samples in bug 472909, which is a regression from the correct time period. This should be gone when that bug is resolved.

thanks, the work-around seems to indeed fix up the display.

Fixed by bug 472909
