**REPORTED** [ALL] Chat/Announcement box Crash

If you put 80+ characters and put 1 spaces or more at the end then enter, the game will crash.

When doing this in multiplayer, it will only crash the host and the clients won't be affected.

Because of this, people will use this to crash the hosts game and make them lose a lot of progress and it's almost impossible to know who did it.

We did some tests and believe it is connected to the displayed text's length when in chat, as multiple characters have different limits when adding a space at the end

It is also possible to permanently crash a world using dummies and pressure plates to force an announcement box to display text that would crash upon spawning in
 
Thanks for the report - this is one we've got logged in our system, and should hopefully have addressed soon.
