Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Mozbot, defect, P2)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16

If you have the Infobot module loaded and tell the bot to talk to itself with a different case than the bot has for its nickname, it will talk to itself:

with the bot name of 'Grunt' and doing this:
grunt: tell Grunt about foo

it will correctly NOT talk to itself.

With the bot name of 'Grunt' and doing this:

grunt: tell grunt about foo

it WILL talk to itself. Endlessly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.bot name of 'Grunt'
2.grunt: tell grunt about foo
3.bot will be talking to itself.
4.this problem is case sensitive.
Actual Results:  
[00:23:55] <Hikaru> Grunt: tell grunt about hikaru
[00:23:57] <Grunt> Hikaru: told grunt

(It talks to itself endlessly in privmsgs according to logfiles after this)

Expected Results:  
[00:28:31] <Hikaru> Grunt: tell grunt about hikaru
[00:28:32] <Grunt> Hikaru: Oh, yeah, great idea, get me to talk to myself.

(Obviously it shouldn't talk to itself endlessly in privmsg, either.)
