Environment:

Tested on the first and latest 1.8 Spigot and Craftbukkit builds with no plugins.


 Description   

Using the command in a command block like "/tell @p hello" results in nothing happening, nothing in the console/logs and no error either.
This can be bypassed by using "/minecraft:tell @p hello" or "/tell @p[-1] hello"(any extra selector will work).
This is for the selectors @p @r @a @e

These used to work in this way. All of my command block setups are now busted if they use @p at all.

This is because /tell calls /bukkit:tell not /minecraft:tell. Bukkit commands don't support selectors. commands.yml can be used to override the bukkit commands in command blocks

Duplicate of SPIGOT-8 I believe
