I already have that option disabled. Hmm. On a whim, I just enabled the option, hit OK, went back into config and disabled the feature, and the issue is now gone! And yes, Konversation is lovely, however in this usage I'm connecting to a unix shell based community, similar to SDF, to their internal chat. I couuuld get it setup to allow me to connect with Konversation but I'd need to mess with ssh port tunnelling, and that seems like a bit of an annoying thing to do ^_^' On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 4:06 AM René J.V.
