Summary0010258: Player-controlled units granted [CAN_SPEAK] through syndrome cannot open the conversation menu
DescriptionWhile playing as a creature that can't normally speak, given the [CAN_SPEAK] token via a syndrome, the player can't open the talk menu (k) and is met with the announcement: "A [creature] cannot speak." That same creature will speak while not under the players control (e.g. after switching units in arena mode), and the same syndrome applied to AI-controlled creatures will allow the creature to speak.

This bug applies to player-controlled units in Arena mode as well as Adventure mode.

Does this only apply to raws editing? I can't say I can think of any vanilla game syndrome that would grant that token.
