Apparently using the new text coloring feature (/4 ,/5) does not work as intended when you use them in names, however despite not being gamebreaking, i still find them worth reporting

by that i mean:

- Your name in the playerlist as spectator does not filter out the formatting

- The console changes it's own coloring when in use

- When you are typing as a spectator while having the new color formatting in your name, your colored name can be seen underlapping your spectator name in the chat

- Your name will not get color filtered by team gamemodes

(My name is still blue despite being in Red Team)

Interesting, thanks! Points 2 and 4 will probably be easy to fix... the spectator interactions may take more thought. It may be that jjTEXTAPPEARANCE::backslashColor will need to be STRING::SignTreatment instead of bool. Normally it's bad to change the API, of course, but if we do it quickly enough nobody will be likely to make any scripts relying on the old pattern.

Okay, I've fixed these for the next release. Points 2 and 4 were trickier than I thought because they only happened when you joined a server that wasn't running 6.1.
