Summary0000275: [98e-r3079] Backslashes in name count as characters
DescriptionColor codes in names are counted as 3 characters instead of 2 for the purpose of limiting name length.
Steps To ReproduceEnter the command "name \ca1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" to max out the name with an ending \c-. The textual part of the name is 28 characters long. Now do "name \ca\ca1234567890123456789012345678901234567890" to add an extra color code to the beginning. The textual part of the name is now 25 characters long.

For technical reasons backslashes are escaped, thus when the names are transferred over the network a color code actually needs 3 chars. So this is not a bug.

Oh darn. :( Any chance of getting the same length limits as 98d back?

The limits of 98e-alpha are different from 98d? They were not supposed to be changed. Probably there is still a problem with the implementation of 0000079.

Color codes in 98d count as 2, so you could have a maximum of 11 characters with 10 different colors. In r3079 you can have a maximum of 10 characters with 7 different colors.

There is a counting bug with the implementation of 0000079. Please test if this works better.

Yes, names with colors work as before.
