Description Will Thompson 2009-03-26 23:22:06 UTC 
My first name (and, thus, alias) is an English word.

It turns out that highlighting the word "Will" in 1-1 conversations doesn't actually buy me much (if the other person is talking, they're talking to me) and is actively annoying (why was the other person's name red on those three lines and not those?).

(Obviously highlighting lines containing my alias in multi-user conversations is useful, and the namespace collision can't be helped in the general case.)

I've not been able to reproduce using current master. Can you retry please?

Nope, this still occurs with current master.
