Bug - MQ2 bug with processing commas in surnames

I received a GM title, which goes in as as an addition to the character's surname. Displaying or not displaying a prefix or suffix, the comma and extra name after does not show up.
Soandso Surname, Blahblah the Blah. Unfortunately MQ2 has a problem processing this name. If I /unload, it displays correctly. Magelo catches the name and synchronizes without a problem, but with MQ2 loaded it truncates the comma and everything after.

Does anyone know what portion of MQ2 might be driving that?

I think this is likely related to this MQCaptions issue i opened > Here <
 
It's the [Captions] section of your MacroQuest.ini and I think the /caption command, but I don't know the command offhand.
 
Damn, thank you guys for the super quick replies!
Running the /caption mqcaptions off command fixed it right up. It also de-colorized NPC names and such, and that's definitely a part of core MQ2 that I was not familiar with. I had never played with those settings in the MacroQuest.ini, the If statements there look kind of daunting!
 
Well, it's the ${If[Something,true,false]} bit that's causing it to cut off the names like that, since comma's in those are treated as part of the true/false results. Turning off the captions is the only option other than modifying your Captions for the respective names option.
