The Bug where your Mesage Log fills up and Locks your PC!
I'm even more dissappointed that I'm being told that there is a Mod that apparently fixes this issue.
Well I've looked at this Mod and it is NOT a Fix!!!!! 
I don't want the game to reduce the contact report distance from my sub and hence lower the number of contacts to those that are nearer my sub, as this mod does, thus lower the overall number of contacts in the Message Log book.
This is a workaround not a FIX!!!!
I find this extremely "Gamey" that contact reports pop up suposedly from "other" assests and SubComPac and these contacts happen to be in the general vicinity of your sub every time!
Fist of all....how would these reporting assests even know exactly where you were to be able to report contacts that are only close to your present location...?
and...
Wouldn't this have been a dead givaway to the enemy "if listening" that a sub is in the area of all the contact reports...?
Anyway it makes the game feel more of it's only YOU in the whole Pacific and nobody else cause contact reports never go out for "other" assests that are operating far off, elsewhere, they just pop up in the vicinity of your sub and your sub alone. 
So basically, even if I'm wrong about the above, "I prefer the games STOCK contact distances, thank you very much".
I just want the Message Log Bug addressed and I want my contact report distances left alone thank you.
Hopefully the Devs won't let the current Mod FIX this issue for me.

Ok, the mod does not work for you. No reason to blast the author of the mod and provide detailed explanation of why it is worthless. Now, it does not look like the developers touch the clipboard on the patch 1.2 coming out. So when you have the correct way to clear up this issue, please post it on the patch forum 1.3 you can create yourself. Sorry if the author did not explain it more clearly to you that it is work around and not a FIX!!!
The mod has cleared up the clipboard issue for me and it is all I have to make the game playable. Un-install the mod and wait for the board to pop up next time you click it. Infact, do not download any more mods so you can have a field day on the forums if you do not like them.
If you have detected that I'm a little pissed at your ungrateful post...then you have a grasp on how I feel when someone attacks our modding community for attempt to make the game better for you.
Not to mention there are members from all over the world that some English words just do not translate into a simular meaning word. So 'workaround' just may not translate and FIX was put in its place.
