    Title: Game client remembers gold amount and chat text from previous account used.
    Reproduction Rate: 100%

    Blocker? Scary but no

    Details:
    When changing accounts the second account will show the amount of gold in the inventory from the first account. In addition the chat "history" still shows the messages from the previous account.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Login to account #1, check gold balance by opening inventory, and note any unique messages in the chat window such as the XP award for this account. Now exit to menu, then logout, and login with another account (account #2). when opening the inventory on account #2, the gold balance from account #1 will be shown. The chat history will also still reflect that of account #1 in addition to the new messages from account#2.

    This appears to be local client variables that are not being cleared when using the logout/loin client mechanic without restarting the client. IE: if we tried to trade gold with the incorrect amount, the game client displays the correct quantity in the trade window, but the incorrect amount remains in the inventory window.

    The issue is correct by quitting the client (to OS) and restarting the client.

    The attached video shows the steps above in tests between four accounts and a gold trade with @Justyn04 ... This issue was originally brought to my attention by @Wereit (who also reproduced it across four different accounts)

    It has been reproduced on three different systems using the non-steam client.

    User Specs:
    OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8) System RAM: 62285

    We have a bug open for various UI elements bleeding over into seperate account instances:
    Bug #: 33743.
    Please restart the client fully between accounts so you don't get confused on what is a visual error, for the time being.
    Thank you and sorry about that.
