When holding down "tab," a useful list of players on the given world pops up. However, I recently noticed that when spectating someone, the player being spectated will not appear on said list.
Let's say I am on main, and so is (example) doberman411. Upon pressing tab, his name will appear, just like everyone else's who happen to be in main. But if I spectate dober, his name will fall off the list.
Thanks!

Minecraft uses the same mechanism for showing players and their names in the tab list. I'll see if I can work around this, e.g. by moving the spectated player off-screen.
