I am seeing the same issue, and this seem to happen with "say" as well. I can't understand what are people writing in the chat as the letters are mixed, or parts of sentences just dissappear.
Yup, same thing happen with "say" too.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue, I was thinking that maybe this was a hardware issue.
wchar_t buf[10];
sizeof(buf) != 10 ..... sigh.
Nothing extracted yet.
When seeing text in the "say_team" chat in Counter-Strike, I see words mixed with letters that I wrote before.
This issue does not happen on Windows.
How to reproduce: Fill the say_team chat with different (long) messages and some words/letters will start to mix or disappear.
Here's a screenshot in which I wrote "Steam for Linux, Steam for Linux, Steam for Linux" and "Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Test5 Test6", and got this:

EDIT:
I was testing this issue with another user, and I wrote "se escucha robotico?" then asked him if he received "se escucha robot" (because that's what appeared in my "say_team" chat), and he told me yes.
I always thought that everyone got my messages exactly as I typed them, but it seems all the time they got my broken messages.
