Does anyone else have this happening?

I will type something in chat, and enter it, and it will post fine, but many minutes latter, it shows up in the typing line again? Sometimes several of my most recent comments will show up.

It spooks me for some reason.

That does sound odd. I've not had any issues with anything pokerstars lately (other than the river suckouts :))

Silly question, maybe..have you contacted support?

It happens on both computers. Another oddity is that when I make notes, I close the notes section, but if I resize the board, that section will open back up
Came with Stars 7.

How long has this been going on? Hopefully it disappears as quickly as it came..not only odd, but annoying, as well.

It seems to have cleared up with a more recent update.

Another thing that was happening is that when I wanted to close Stars, I would have to click the close button twice, minimum.

im not sure about the messages re-typing themselves but i know buried somewhere in the options you can set the default tab you want to open in tournament play, an have separate tabs open when u play cash.... I'm thinking it could resort to default when you do a re size.


An as i think more about first problem could be a video card issue and your FPS rates... could be you are running on bare minimum requirements for the new software an experiencing memory lag, or simplest problem just plain old slow connection to the PokerStars servers

My laptop is underpowered, and my desktop is definitely overpowered, and it was happening on both, so that isn't it.

are you using a wireless or wired network? could be packet loss causing lag... you can always send pokerstars your network report through the help tab an they can assist in analyzing your issue.

-how many devices connect to your router?
-type of router you have ( i strongly suggest duel band router if you have smart tv, phones, wirless printers ) this way you can segregate your traffic.

As of last night the double closing stopped. The only time the chat box issue was apparent was in the league games where I would chat a lot. Otherwise I seldom chat and so generally won't notice. Not sure it came from the forced upgrade to Stars 7, rather one of the weekly updates.

Laptop is wireless, desktop is Ethernet and wired.

I think my biggest problem with PokerStars right now, is the connection. That is sooooo annoying, especially when we are headsup!

Unfortunately, I do not know this but I have been several times already so I think the neat inter-relationship is weak and the server

The Chat box issue is still happening.

Out of nowhere it will put stuff I chatted 40 hands ago in the chat box.

I think I had the same thing happen as you have described. I did manage to get rid of it, once I restarted Pokerstars. Pokerstars has been doing some wonky things lately. The connection issues are just ridiculous.
