A friend sent me this message:

Hi, I'm encountering a strange bug... I keep crashing whenever I type a sentence that starts with "/con", like "/convert", "/con1234", or just "/con". It happens on any char or job even with all addons and plugins disabled. Does this happen to you too?
Thankfully it's not a huge issue for me unless I need to use Convert but I'm still curious about what might be causing it.

So I went and changed to RDM, did /convert and *poof* my Windower disappear (crashed without any error message, just disappeared). Then I logged in again, thinking it may be the "shortcuts" addon (although my friend tested without addons or plugins) did //lua u shortcuts, then did /ja convert and it worked well. Changed job, back to RDM to reset the JA and then did /convert (without the shortcuts addon loaded) and *poof* FFXI disappeared again.

Any idea what could be causing this? We both multibox if this is relevat for anything. For now I will just use /ja convert if needed but it is very weird. My friend says any "/con-whatever" command crashes it.

Edit: Confirmed by another friend, he used /convert and *poof*

/con is the command to send a command to the console that is why it is crashing it is a windower bug that we will look into

We have pushed a fix for that onto the dev branch. If you're on there, you can test it, to check if it works for you. If no one complains, we'll push it out by tomorrow.
