Can you confirm the machine was connected to the network. If it can't connect, Chat will not let you type. From what I could see of the "Share with:" toolbar widget did look to be set to "My Neighborhood", but it's hard to tell.

hmm not I can't confirm that and given that the wireless was incredibly flacky you have probably nailed it.

Is this perhaps a UI bug? Should Chat tell you you aren't connected rather then just not letting you type?

Replying to CarolineM:

Chat does show a "you are connected" dialogue when you start sharing or resume a shared session, but I'm not sure how well or if it deals with negative network responses. Pretty tough problem, perhaps a grey "connecting..." text could be planted in the input field. With my developer hat on, I could end up trying to code an error dialogue after some N number of seconds saying "connection failed". Problem with this is picking a good N for slow network situations.

Related story: The launching pulse animation for starting an Activity is dumb, dumb, dumb. It just plays for about ~20sec and then stops. If the Activity fails to launch the pulse animation doesn't know, and you can sit there for 20 sec watching it before being dumped back somewhere into Sugar and then looking for the crash log (if you know to look). If the Activity starts in 1sec the pulse animation carries on in the background for ~19sec burning CPU cycles, eating memory and making your first impression of the (otherwise fast launching) Activity sluggish. Oh the perils of timed dialogues...
