I can verify that this bug still happens. I'll look for more debug info, but it crashes the whole client.

You can just set the ChatTabs module to "Dont Load", and the problem will go away.

I have never been able to reproduce this myself, so its difficult to fix.

You'll have to delete your Prat Saved Variables or disable Prat while moving the new chat windows.

The disabling is only temporary (you'd have to do it every time you want to move a new window), but the wiping of variables works long term as far as I've seen so far.
