 Description   

Not technically an in-game bug, just a bug with the server broadcasting a /say command. The command sent by the console will not show up in the console, failing to indicate whether it was actually sent or not.

What I expected to happen was...:
For the line [ CONSOLE ] or [ Server ] Hello World! to appear.

What actually happened was...:
The server log gave no indication that a message was sent and the message appeared to disappear from existence.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a minecraft server console, type the /say command.
2. Type any text after the command.
3. Hit "Enter" to send the message.
4. Watch as the message shows up in-game and not in the console.

Confirmed. This is certainly a bug because the server console used to report this and reports almost every other command.

Yea, my main problem was the lack of verification. I legitimately thought that my messages weren't sending until I personally asked the people on my server afterwards. All I really feel I need from this is some sort of notification that it was sent, since unless someone responds or there's a notification it seems as if it doesn't work.

I have noticed that, but I figured it's better to not have it repeat the /say messages.

But I would prefer it to have some sort of notification that tells us the message has been broadcasted to all players. Like a simple "Message Sent" log message or something subtle and easy to see.
