Random numbers dirt on any chat window

Post by Livio »

I don't know why but it since yesterday chat got some numbers between words of my messages.
Double checked keyboard but nothing weird happened.
Someone had the same problem?

Does it only happens on ManaPlus, or does it happens on a notepad window as well?

In the later case, you may have a bot running. (For example, tmw2_bot.py or tmw2_bot.sh - are two bots which could be sending number "2" randomly to trigger skills) (Note: botting is only allowed on ML!)

If not a bot, some other program which controls input. In fact, worst case, you could have installed a spyware (keylogger) and be sending all your passwords to someone other than CIA/NSA. I would advise running the relevant checks. (proccess list, sha256 of /usr/bin/top, etc.)

If it only happens on ManaPlus, then it is weird; Specially because M+ doesn't updates itself.

Probably I've discovered the issue: color chat was set on rainbow... :?
