How it looks right now:

How I think it should look like:

Here’s a CSS snippet to always show the sender’s name:

.ts-chat-room-event-compact .ts-chat-room-event-compact .ts-chat-sender {
    display: inline-block !important;
}

Hope it helps someone

This is as it is by design. If the message is from the same person, we group all messages without the need to display the name again and again.
We do the same in the Detailed Chat.

However, if this really bothers a number of people and is truly unpleasant, it might be worth taking another look at it. The only question is why this should be changed only for the Compact Chat.

As for me it just looks weird. One thing that the messages are not aligned and another that everywhere else (TS3, IRC, Discord, etc.) the usernames are always displayed.

I don’t have much to say about compact mode because I personally don’t like it. It really depends on individual preferences, since everyone has different tastes.

If more people request this change, we could consider adjusting it.
