Can't chat while gathering?

I've noticed that when I'm gathering (ore, plants, fishing), my action is cancelled if I try to chat. I can't type a line in guild chat while I'm waiting for the gather to finish. It isn't a problem, but it certainly is a nuisance. I'm not sure if this is intended, or just an oversight on the part of ZOS. Either way, I'd appreciate it if it could get changed!
Every time someone swears, it gets replaced with three asterisks. There's only one three-letter swear word that I know of. I read that in the place of every set of three asterisks. It makes for some amusing sentences.

    I second this problem. There are general problems with the ui, that you cannot do two things at once. Try fishing and chatting...

    I've never noticed it gathering but it would be nice to be able to chat while fishing not just between casts.

    I'd suggest doing a /feedback for this if you haven't already.

    Fishing is boring to begin with. Not being able to chat while fishing just sucks.

    Yes! This is so frustrating. It would be nice to chat while gathering stuff. I don't really need to stare at the gathering animation thousands of times...

    Yeah, it's almost like they are considering what a character can physically do itself, you CAN ride a horse and look at a map for example... but not look at a map while collecting mats...

    Explains why I have issues with PUG's now, they are trying to chat instead of supporting the team.

    I think I can stop chatting for the few seconds it takes me to mine a node.

    But where do they physically store that horse on their person? Wait, I don't want to know.

    Not sure what your first sentence has to do with anything.

    I can stop chatting to mine a node; in fact, I have to. But I don't have to interrupt my conversation with my daughter to pick a flower IRL, so I'm not sure how logic is being applied here.

    It was like this throughout beta, not sure it will ever be "hot fixed."
