In four years of SL, I have never had this one happen..lol ...until yesterday. Whenever I type in local chat, I am using the hand gesture that comes when VOICE is on and lip sync animation checked. The thing is......I never use voice and it's deactivated in preferences... I've tried the following w/o success: . removed my AO .made sure 'play typing animation' and Voice (including lip sync) are turned off in Preferences .used 'stop all animations' .took off all attachements and dbl checked items worn to make sure. I use the latest Phoenix viewer, but it is also happening in SL viewer 2 This is happening only with my avie..tried an alt and all is ok...so it can't be the viewer install. Any idea how this happened or better yet....how to get ride of it ?? thx ;)
