Mini-lockups caused by chat messages

Right after sending and right before receiving a message in in-game chat my app often locks up for a few seconds.
Up to now I thought it was my slow laptop's fault, but today I read in group chat that mat747 and steveB have similar glitches.
It's not a big thing, but maybe there's a bigger problem behind it.

Same thing happens to me, running on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.8. (don't know if system specs help).

At its worst, the chat lock-ups appear to cause the program to crash.

I have the same issue using Windows 7. It doesn't happen after every chat line, but if a few people are talking back and forth in a "short" amount of time the odds of this lockup are increased for me.

It does not happen to me when I close the chat window and disable auto show. So I think it has something to do with displaying the messages, not with their receiving. As I mentioned before, for me it also happens right after sending a message (i.e. before displaying my own message in the chat window).

I have not encountered the lockups but have found and fixed two chat crashes, one of which occurs right after sending a message.

Hi seth

It`s still causes my game to stall/lock-up. But I think the update has made some improvement.
