Do not know if this is a bug or feature request.

The tabs are not popping up lit when they are not focused upon. If I turn them off and go back to the default tabs I get the tab light up upon a tell or realid tell. . Not so when that module is turned on. . Any way to fix this as I love the idea of getting away from WiM, which is sort of broken right now anyway.

Thanks

Zidomo, I just added it back in along with a resizer module so you can resize like 3.3 i.e. any edge.

Great work with the updating.

Just a question though. Wasn't there an option that lets you scroll all the way up or down by holding shift while scrolling? I can't find it anymore. That feature was always super handy when i scrolled up to find something, and then afterward scroll to the bottom instantly with one simple shift-scroll.

Also a remark on server positioning. In the options it says next to the checkbox, "enable server positioning", but when you mouseover it, the tooltip says "disable server side storage[...]". So does it enable or disable?

Also, alt names don't seem to be working for me.

I'm having the same issue. It only works in the login message. There I still see the mains name.

Anyone else having trouble getting the shift scrolling to work? I miss being able to shift scroll all the way up, and then back down. A couple of friends have this problem too, none of us can figure it out.

Is it somehow possible to limit the number of edit boxes to one? I have two chat windows, one for general stuff (left) and one for raid/party/guild chat (right). With the new chat system the edit box now opens on the window I have clicked the last, which is absolutely irritating.

Making the window non interactive is no solution, since I then cannot click the names to whisper etc.

Also, alt names don't seem to be working for me. Neither does it show guild notes nor manually added "Set Main" notes.

Zidmo, ill think about adding it back in again on the upper left corner. depending on what side you dock the chat frame the resizer region is in the corner opposite. ive been more focused on bug fies right now over anything else. the previous add button to a build was a copy and paste so taking it out was only a second. Either case its accessible in the tab menu.

Hey guys, just wanted to thank you for your hard work with the updates this week (and always). I can only imagine what sort of frustration it must be when you've got a fully functional addon that Blizz breaks in the name of putting in washed out versions of some of your features.

Was it necessary to remove the chat copy button? BasicChatMods has a copy button for the chat frame that works without issues. Be nice to see one back in Chatter.

1.2.6 fixed the whisper issue, thanks! Now if only alt linking worked, I'd be a happy camper. Thanks for all your work on this! :)

In v1.2.x, alt linking is not working in other windows than the General window. Name coloring was not working either, but I believe it was fixed in v1.2.3, however alt linking is still down...
