Top work, thank you. What were the wildest theories over the years?

Dude. This is what I posted on reddit when Chris announced that it's been fixed:
" https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/uzsp4a/comment/iagvgiz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 (To be fair, I spent around 10 years programming a text engine) | |

The earliest bug ticket for this issue was made on June 4th 2016.
Funny cause I only started having this issue in the last 2 years. Regardless, nicely done. ~ Adapt, Improvise and Overcome

Really BIG thanks for the story and the details. I always love to read such things, especially on buggers that are so persistent over the years.
I really hope we will be able to read such things every now and then. Keep up the work! TwitchTV: http://www.twitch.tv/akumanotsubasa

Thanks for the explanation! This was really cool as a noobie programmer to read and see and understand. I hope you do more of these in the future, whether they are big bugs or small!

Great! Now do the issue with NPC dialog, where the text scrolls off and prematurely ends the speech. ='[.]'=
