 Description   

If you are playing a world through Xbox Live and LAN(PLEASE test this with Realms) and you receive a message then respond, it will duplicate the message they sent. It happens on my DROID Turbo 2 and another guy's MOTO E 1ST Generation. Please .try to reproduce this with any device you can.

Confirmed, 1.0.5 Beta Build 1 changelog says that this is 'fixed'.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 12/Mar/17 ]

This seems fixed as of 1.0.5.0 beta, although 1.0.5 has its own issues.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 06/Mar/17 ]

Affects 1.0.4.1.

This is affected with commands as well.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 31/Jan/17 ]

I came here to report exactly that ^^ - the /help output is affected by this issue. Again, closing and reopening the chat window makes the duplicates magically disappear.

Comment by JoePCool14 [ 19/Jan/17 ]

Confirmed on v1.0.1, iPhone 5s, iOS 10.2.1
I also reported this issue as commands printing line by line, and it's been closed as a duplicate to this issue.

Just another note, this can happen on realms when using commands as well when it responds with a messge.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 14/Jan/17 ]

Worth noting that closing/reopening the chat screen causes the duplicates to magically vanish. It appears to be a graphical bug of some sort.

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Dr.Awesome4333 [ 27/Dec/16 ]

While this has been mostly fixed, it has been pointed out that if multiple messages have been sent with in the space of one tick, they can become duplicated. This does apply to vanilla realms. I tested this on Windows 10 with Auto Hot Key to type messages fast and some messages are duplicated. How ever unlikely that someone would type that fast I am not sure but it does cause issues with servers.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 26/Dec/16 ]

No, this is nothing to do with the server. This issue only started occurring at about 0.16 without any core changes.

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Dr.Awesome4333 [ 26/Dec/16 ]

I assuming that a server is involved in this judging by the sent in 1 tick part, is it possible that your server may be sending the same message multiple times? I know Leet has had a similar issue.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Dylan K. Taylor [ 26/Dec/16 ]

This is not fixed, please re-open the ticket. It seems to happen when sending multiple chat messages very quickly (within the same tick?)

Example
Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

sent within the same tick will appear like

Message 1
Message 1
Message 2
Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

It's a seriously annoying bug.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 03/Dec/16 ]

According to the changelog, this should be fixed in 1.0.0.0

Chat messages now only show up once!

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Dr.Awesome4333 [ 23/Oct/16 ]

I usually get this when someone joins my game and I get the message twice that they joined but it fixes itself after leaving then re entering into chat.
