names problem

I have a couple of toons with similar names ie. Igo and Igoc and I don't seem able to select the other one on either toon, I take it as it only reads Igo before selecting a toon although the default one they both select is Igoc, both toons are on different PC's and nothing happens on either pc when I click on Igo's square. When I am out of a group and Igo clicks on his own square it selects Igoc if he is standing beside me.

    Actually, I have experienced a problem similar to this. I was in a scenario and two of the characterschad the same first five letters in their name. One was in group #1 Settings profiles, the other in group #2 Import/export settings. No matter which one I clicked, it always selected (and healed) the one from group #1 Settings profiles. I haven't encountered this situation since then, but I've been curious to try to recreate it.

    It's actually a basic error in the client; the targeting functionality will pick the first target whose name matches the entire string passed to it, as opposed to the exact name. So if one is a prefix of the other, it can often target the wrong one. That's nothing I can fix, it's something that'd have to be changed in the client code.
