Thank you for adding the option to unsticky whispers but can you also include the option to unsticky RealID whispers?

I currently use the script:

/script ChatTypeInfo.BN_WHISPER.sticky = 0;

To stop all RealID whispers and I have to input it everytime the UI reloads.

Is it just me or is anyone else having this issue where you can't shift + leftclick on names or achievements and get information in chat...?

I found a temporary workaround for the cutoff bug. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

In the file Interface\Addons\Chatter\Modules\PlayerNames.lua, search for the following string:
displayName = mod:ColorName( name )
And change it to:
displayName = mod:ColorName( displayName )
The problem is that the regular expression is probably bugged and name gets cut off, while displayName is not.

Is the Player Names module bugged/broken currently too? Things I had working before like removing left/right brackets no longer seem to work.

Timestamps work for me; they are also a feature of the game's default chat system now.

Hello, after the last update I have some problem with chatter.
First, the option settings do not work, cant turn off or on anything as timestamps ect.
2nd, the "&name& has logged on" cuts down the name, so its like &nam& has logged on" and for that I can't just click on the name and say Hey.

Anyone with the same problems?

/chatter Chat Tabs

Enable Chat Tabs is checked. Hide Tabs is checked.

This will hide the chat tabs (well duh, thats what its suppose to do)!

But this setting is not being saved when relogging. The chat tabs come back, both Enable Chat Tabs and Hide Tabs are both checked upon logging in.

Unchecking Hide Tabs and rechecking it will make the tabs disappear again. Obviously a very small bug with this option not saving its settings between session.

Hey, have you considered adding an option to control the size of the Edit Box font?
I want to use the same font as my chat font, but it looks enormous in the edit box.
Thanks!

I was messing with the options trying to figure out what everything does when my type box disappeared. The box where you press enter to type and whatnot. Im fairly certain that this is an option that i may be overlooking so if anyone could tell me how to get it back it would be much appreciated.

I am noticing the name cutoff as well, but I have another issue I haven't seen mentioned here. I use Chatter to hide Chat Tabs. I can disable or hide them, but the next time I log in to that character it is showing the chat tabs again. The settings in Chatter are set the way they should be when I look at them, but chat tabs are showing. I can then enable/disable the settings in Chatter and it fixes it, but still doesn't persist between sessions.

I have the name cutoff thing going on, as well as the chat box position resetting.

I have uninstalled the addon, deleted any saved variables for it and reinstalled the updated version, and the problem persists.

Seeing the name cutoff bug, officer chat keeps getting disabled (embarrassing for the Guild Master to lose officer chat), but can't confirm the whisper window bug, as I still leave everything in a single window.

Please fix - this addon is driving me up the wall now.

Any chance to get a fix for game version 3.3.3? As we all know, only USA community is on v3.3.5, while all the other world is still on v3.3.3, which makes the new addon version irrelevant.
