I have requested that this issue be marked as a "wishlist" as it seems to be the most appropriate for your request. Understanding that custom emoticons can cause problems (some of them can be quite large in size, or quite animated) might cause problems in the nickname line in terms of readability it would require a feature change to exclude certain custom emoticon mappings.
Just to clarify, the issue was that by having a mapping such as (lol) in a nickname field it could cause problems locally if the user has an icon that is either really large or quite animated. -- Emoticons in Screenname field - improperly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
