Most recent chat message is sometimes invisible

[goldenlemonade2]

When opening chat the most recent message is sometimes invisible.

It occurs if enough messages have been sent to trigger a scroll bar and the player has specific resolution and HUD scale values, such as 1920x1080 @ 1.00 or 1280x960 @ 0.90. It does not occur if the message is long enough to span two lines or contains certain characters like ﹫ (Location suffix) or Ⓑ (Colors and letters setting). It started happening on the Spring Forward update.

Reproduction Steps:

• Set resolution to 1920x1080, HUD scale to 1.00, and Show Player Colors in Competitive to either Show Colors or None.
• Start an offline deathmatch.
• Send enough messages to trigger a scroll bar.
• Send a short message in [All] chat to prevent the location suffix and spanning two lines.
• Open chat and notice that message is missing.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this happen on Windows as well. I don't use it anymore to confirm though

this bug was caused after the may 16th hotfix.. think they added padding to the chat on accident which might cause that, i'll check the vcss_c file for the hudchat element

Still an issue... Not very usable for being an admin on a community server.
