Chat bubble codes no longer working?

[Shenanigunner]

So it's not too widely known (or at least not too widely used), but you can control your chat bubbles with bracket codes:

<color ccode><bgcolor ccodetransparency><border ccode><scale factor><duration seconds>

...and I've used them to good effect on many alts and binds.

 

Now, however, only the three color codes seem to work... color, bgcolor and border. The scale and duration codes do nothing.

 

Is this a change, or am I missing something?
