419 - Shift Click Name in Trade Chat Function Not Working Properly

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Activate WIM in WoW.
2. Shift Click name of character that has typed into chat.
3. No profit.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected response to this action is a string of text in the chat box with general information about the character you just shift-clicked. Name, guild, level, zone. Instead, it opens up the /who search box, with a search string of x-charactername.

What version of the product are you using?
3.6.18

Do you have an error log of what happened?
No errors generated.

Please provide any additional information below.
All information needed was displayed during the previous questions. I isolated the issue by only having WIM active at the time, in order to ensure that it was specifically WIM causing the issue and not any wires crossing with any other addons.

This ticket doesn't belong in wim, it's a libwho complaint a library wim just happens to use.

The problem is caused by LibWho-2.0. In order to correct the behavior temporarily edit it. Open LibWho-2.0.lua @ WIM\Libs\LibWho-2.0\. After that go to line 464 you will find the following code:
if args.queue == self.WHOLIB_QUEUE_USER then WhoFrameEditBox:SetText(args.query) self.Quiet = false if args.whotoui then self.hooked.SetWhoToUI(args.whotoui) else self.hooked.SetWhoToUI(args.gui and 1 or 0) end else self.hooked.SetWhoToUI(1) self.Quiet = true end
comment or delete this code. After you have do this go to line 790, you will find the following line:
'SetWhoToUI',
Delete or comment it. After these changes save the file and reload your UI. Shift Leftclick have the behaviour like expected and you will see the output at the chatframe where the system messages are placed.

Been trying to dig through all the files, I cannot find anything that could potentially fix this problem.

Tried everything and nothing. Maybe it was intended change ? It's really annoying.

Thanks for opening this ticket, I just isolated this behavior to WIM as well.
