Writing on Papers; Duplicating Messages
New, NormalPublic

Description

If you write on multiple pieces of paper, the contents of the previous piece of paper will be copied over as well.
I have not tried using different pens, but using 1 pen on multiple pieces of paper will copy the contents.

Steps To Reproduce

Step 1: Aquire 2 pieces of paper and a pen
Step 2: Write something on one of the pieces of paper
Step 3: Drop or move that piece of paper that you wrote on (Just so you can keep track of them)
Step 4: Write something on the other, blank piece of paper.
Step 5: Read both notes
Step 6: Observe that the second piece of paper will contain the contents of the first piece of paper, in addition to what you intended to write on it.

Additional Information

I have only tried this with 1 pen, but the bug is consistent with multiple pieces of paper.

EDIT: This works with any amount of papers, keep writing on new pieces of paper and they will all keep receiving the contents of the previous ones.

I've also seen this if anyone who writes on paper can see anyone elses writings if they have a paper that has something written on it.

I had similar experiences:

  1. Found a piece of paper
  2. Read that paper and it was empty
  3. I wrote a text "Text 1" on this paper
  4. I read the paper again and it contains my "Text 1" preceeded by other peoples texts written to it so it looked like

Text 2
Text 3
Text 1
-> The previous texts can also have different colors so it is probably not related to the pen I used as I would assume all texts having the same color then.

Second szenario:

  1. Found a piece of paper
  2. Read the paper and it was empty
  3. Wrote a text on the paper
  4. Read the paper again and it was still empty

Then I carried the paper at my character and a friend of mine on the same server in a totally different part of the map told me he found a piece of paper with my text written on it. It was a very specific text including my player name and I never wrote that text before to any paper on any server.
Also when my friend was then (still way apart from where I was on the map) wrote a text to his paper and I read my paper again his text appeared on my paper as well. So it was some kind of far distance communication via "magic" paper ;)
