Has Bughouse chat become viewable by both parties?

I recently played a Bughouse game, and I was able to see my opponents' messages. Is this a bug in Bughouse, or has the system changed? If it has, please revert it back to the chat being visible only to the partner till the game is over. If the chat is visible to both parties, we wouldn't be able to communicate with each other, for example, help each other out by suggesting moves or sending the Bughouse emojis (like 'No knight' and 'Need pawn'). If it's a bug, please fix it at the earliest.

Oh. Since when? If it's not a bug, I suggest it be changed as there are many disadvantages, and there's no point having the Bughouse emojis.

That's strange.  Maybe what happened to you has been happening to me all along?

Wait- I can't see your Bughouse rating, nor does it seem like you've played a Bughouse game. Are you sure you've experienced this in Bughouse, or is it some other variant you're talking about?

If bug is a recreation of the in-person game then the chat would be available to all four players.

First there needs to be a decision as to whether or not it is a bug or a designed-in feature.

I think it's a bug. It needs to be fixed. I don't think it's a 'feature'.

Yes, but sometimes I've seen my opponents' chat even after 10 seconds. But I guess this doesn't happen much now, but I don't think this has been fixed properly, either.
