LogService.MessageOut discards alphanumeric substrings inside pairs of forward slashes

Certain substrings are being removed when MessageOut receives them. Here’s a list of example output and resulting strings with the current behavior:

• /foo/ →
• /foo/bar → bar
• /a1b2c3d4/ →
• /a1b2c3d4/bar → bar
• /foo a/ →
• /foo → /foo
• /foo ab/ → /foo ab/
• /// → ///
• !@#$% → !@#$%
• /123 45/ → /123 45/

It seems like if the substring enclosed within pairs of / begins with an alphanumeric character, it isn’t included unless it has a space followed by two characters.

Here’s a script you can run in the command bar to reproduce this:

local LogService = game:GetService("LogService")

local outputs = {}

local connection = LogService.MessageOut:Connect(function(message)
	table.insert(outputs, message)
end)

local examples = {
	"/foo/",
	"/foo/bar",
	"/a1b2c3d4/",
	"/a1b2c3d4/bar",
	"/foo a/",
	"/foo",
	"/foo ab/",
	"///",
	"!@#$%",
	"/123 45/",
}

for _, example in examples do
	print(example)
	task.wait()
end

connection:Disconnect()

for i, originalString in examples do
	if outputs[i] ~= originalString then
		print(`❌ {outputs[i]} != {originalString}`)
	else
		print(`✅ {outputs[i]} == {originalString}`)
	end
end

Here’s a place with that script in it:
