    Could not reproduce on Vertrauen, both nodes running on same Linux system.[sbbs_exiting_chat](/uploads/e5397a861d13d8083725574bf4012021/sbbs_exiting_chat.png)

    This is the output from node 1 and 2 before chat, during chat, after node 1 pressed CTRL-C, and after node 1 did ;SPY 2Let me know if there's anything else you need. [node-debug.txt](/uploads/a2018dd0ff8b4118ac281aac1086a886/node-debug.txt)

    This is another issue but since you're poking around, when we reestablished chat, on my end (node 1) I didn't get multinode I just got line by line. I can recreate later and open a new issue.

    Keyop, you replicated this on your own BBS or on Nelgin's?

    When a node is brought into chat by the sysop, they can't exit until the sysop exits chat. See how the node action is stuck in "22" (NODE_PCHT) after node 1 exited chat? That's why the second (user) node doesn't know the first node has exited chat, because the node 1's "action" value doesn't reflect that.How are you invoking the private node-to-node chat - using the stock Ctrl-P loadable module or some other method?If you're invoking the private chat via some custom menu and your custom menu isn't setting the node action value, then that would explain the problem and why no other sysops are experiencing this issue.

    Split-screen chat has very specific terminal requirements. Perhaps you were connecting using a non-conforming terminal (e.g. in dimensions)?

    The output of 'node -debug' when this problems happens could be useful (and note: which node was the node that successfully exited chat).

    Just replicated the issue as described in nelgin's description above and get the same problem.

    Do you have the output of 'node -debug' when this happens to help root-cause the issue?

    I would hope that syncterm is a conforming terminal. Since it worked in the same session and the dimensions haven't changed. I assume that Keyop was using the same also. Would need him to confirm

    I was using telnet from my BBS.

    There's also a user setting to enable/disable split-screen chat. Both sides of the chat/conversation do not have to be split.

    I've tested both sides wit SyncTerm, using different users, with repeatable results, that the caller cannot quit chat when sysop initiates chat. Nothing has changed in the user profiles.

    This thread is discussing the split-screen/versus line-by-line chat "problem" that you mentioned in this issue's comments.See my comment below around the 'cannot quit chat' issue and why it's unique to your system.

    I'm just using the section that's in chat_sec.js case 'P': bbs.private_chat(); break;Except I'm using N for node to node chat. case 'N': bbs.private_chat(); break;

    The script was missing bbs.nodesync() after setting node_action. Thanks to DM for helping me figure that one out.
