Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
If you hit the key T, or type in just say/me/ooc in the commandbar to open up a textbox, that textbox takes a while to appear, often up to half a second.
If this doesn't rely on the tickrate I suggest that the delay should be decreased as much as possible because it's important that we get to speak freely and without a delay, especially given how CM often relies on getting information through quickly while in combat.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
You don't accidentally move because you started typing before the textbox pops up
People can type faster in tight combat situations
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Textbox needs to appear instantly rather than after a half second delay
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Code
Decrease the delay between pressing T and the say textbox appearing

Not here to bash your suggestion, just to tell you this if you didn't already know: pressing space after typing "say" allows you to type your message without a textbox and is much easier imo.

That's reliant on tickrate. When it takes a second, you're lagging.

Re: Decrease the delay between pressing T and the say textbox appearing
Resolved I believe, due to this being a problem with lag not a feature.
