Every so often ( a few times an hour) whether the text is being sent out or incoming , both local or IMs to anyone it will show the text and show it three more times . I tried removing attachments , resetting charactor, relogging and checking all the settings on the viewer ( Emerald ) that did not work. I will try using just the normal SL view and see if it happens , but if anyone knows why it happens I would appreciate the help. Thank you.
