I'd help, Eshie, but I have never gotten this bug, nor had anyone tell me he/she has gotten it trying to watch/listen to me.

Bug Name: "Too far away"
Description: When someone tries to /watch a Dancer or /listen to a Musician, they incorrectly get the system message that they are too far away to watch or listen to that performer. This is the normal system message that is given when a patron actually is too far away to watch/listen to a performer, but the bug is that it is being triggered incorrectly: the patron is not too far away, they can be right beside the Ent.
Break down:
1. Patron does a /watch
2. Patron receives system message that they have started watching the Dancer
3. Patron receives system message that they are too far away to be entertained by the Dancer
Notes:
The bug seems to be on the performer and not on the patron or location, because patrons can /watch or /listen to other performers in the same cantina.
Switching to playing music from dancing or vice versa doesn't help, the bug sticks to the Ent.
Can persist through zone changes and travel as well as long log outs.
You used to be able to "work around" the bug by moving your av around a few steps, but this stopped working on the first CU server (and every one after that and I think that there were reports that it stopped working on the Live servers as well during CU testing, but before the CU pub).
*hugs Eshie* I think this is the same old beast that caused our dances to display wrong on the high travel styles and gets both Musicians and Dancers messed up sometimes with the start/stop commands and traveling. No clue on what triggered it though, this one popped up before they changed our base dances.
I think it was about the time of the "snappy movement" patch though, so maybe that's a tip for them? Which pub was that?
Edit: Oops, reposting in the right thread. Ok no, I'm just going to leave this here, lol. *flashes her "Glowies are allowed to be a little nutty" card*
