I’m sure if was already reported before. Also, I’m not sure if it’s a bug or working as intended but in case it’s the later I’ll leave it as suggestion: when leaving a party all the party chat disappears.

It makes things hard to report incidents or something as happened to me recently. I was in a party with someone as they requested a help with their story and then after that they invited me to roleplay. I accepted it but mins later I was disrespected and also the pervert had trespassed limits. Then I immediately left party and teleported away. My only option was report them for Verbal Abuse and it was when I saw the party chat had gone. I couldn’t even take a snapshot of the chat as I had no time for it.

If it’s working as intended I would request it to be changed to keep party chat, at least for a while or until you join another party. In this case, if an abuse happens it would be easier to save it for later.

Another issue is if your party mate disconnect for a long time and the party is disbanded. All the previous conversation just gone.

It’s working as designed.

I think most everyone (ANet staff included) would prefer if chat remained regardless of dropping party. There’s no particular advantage to the player for its current behavior.

Yes, that’s exactly my thought.

It’s been discussed before. It’s also a problem with people who get kicked out of dungeons. They lose party chat and can’t report abuses unless they made a screenshot before joining up.

As a minor annoyance, when you switch chars you lose guild chat also even if both chars are in the same guild and both are repping.

Not much consolation to you, but remember…the chat isn’t lost to those investigating reports of abuse, etc.

Maybe, one day, it will be something included in a Feature Patch. Maybe…this one? =)
