Unable to 'Send Message' to Users/Channels

[mumble-voip]

When selecting a user or channel name in the currently active server, you are unable to type a message to any individual or channel using the text input bar. Users still on 1.2.3 connected to the same server do not have the same issue, and are free to text message whomever they wish or whatever channel they wish.

The only way to get around this issue is to right-click a user or channel and use the "Send Message" function.

This ticket has been migrated from sourceforge. It is thus missing some details like original creator etc.

Added Note: Forgot to mention that I have Configure → Settings → User-Interface → “Use selected item as chat bar target” enabled.

Is your issue that stuff typed in the input field does not show up?

Or is it that it still only targets the channel you are in?

If it's the latter, are you positively sure the option is really enabled?

I think this "use selected item as chat bar target" option should be enabled by default. This was the behavior of 1.2.3, and having that change on users when they upgrade is not very user friendly at all.

I think this was either fixed by #5917 or not a bug after all in case OP just forgot to enable the “Use selected item as chat bar target” (Hard to tell because the usernames are missing). Anyway, if I somehow missed something here feel free to comment.
