Text chat (player text messages, system messages, et cetera) will be hidden for the client upon entering the Splendid Camera. Exiting the camera does not resolve the issue; aborting to the lobby and rejoining the mission will restore text chat.

This appears to be a strange issue with where the camera display is actually being created. The camera display is normally created on the RscDisplayMission display, which causes issues when you quit out of it (i.e. no text showing up). If the camera display is created on RscDisplayMPInterrupt the text comes back as it is supposed to. A quick fix to just get rid of the symptoms is to call showChat = true; on the Exit mode of the a3\functions_f\Debug\fn_camera.sqf script. In the mean time players can fix the symptoms by locally executing showChat = true; in the debug console, or if they have CBA by adding
class Extended_DisplayUnload_EventHandlers {
class RscDisplayCamera {
potato = "showChat true";
};
};to their mission's description.ext or a mod's config.cpp.
