As far as I know, no addon has access to change what is being written, are you sure you didn't accidently open it in an editor with the wrong encoding set? (no idea which one Blizzard uses)

I will confirm that having a short character name (which appears in lots of other words) makes using the Highlight module annoying at best. I see comments reaching back for some time asking for it not to automatically add your name to the list. Maybe someday...

I updated a handful of addons a couple of days ago and now I am unable to click on any links in chat including player names. I'm not sure what's the main cause of this, but I was wondering if anyone else had issues like this. I'm thinking it might have to do with one of the other addons that were updated (possibly dbm, atlas loot, quest helper to name a few). If anyone has any info as to which addon is hurting me your reply would be much appreciated.

I have the same problem, though disabling chatter doesn't make the problem go away, so it's obviously not a fault of chatter

try disabling every addon and see if you still get that problem. I tried disabling everything but I still can't get the chat links to work.

Sometimes if I fight npcs, that use actions or emote or how you call it the orange thingy in default channel colors. I get spammed with empty lines, this is solved if I disable the timestamps.

Next it doesn't always hide all messages from hidden channels either. As I have some tooltipextension that uses a hidden channel to communicate with others with the same mod, I get to see it, when I go to my settings of chat I see that the custom channel isn't checked, so shouldn't show up.

I fixed the player name coloring by turning off the Player Names in Chatter, and enabling the colored names in the Blizzard chat settings. Works fine.

After I installed a new UI package I came back here to get Chatter, downloaded the most recent release and nothing worked. So I went back to release r220 and everything works fine again. Hope that helps ya'll.

I was wondering if there was a way to have the class colors in chat work automatically. Currently class color aren't working until I've manually targeted or found the speaker, their names just show up grey. Prat has this feature where the speaker's class is gathered automatically and color applied. I can't seem to figure this out in Chatter. Any help would be great.

Your addon is unlocking (and saving the position of) the game menu, and options panels. Sexymap is doing it too but I can confirm both are guilty of this individually. I don't like this feature at all, and can't find any option to disable this. I'm guessing it's a piece of rogue code so please fix that. I loved everything else about your addon but because of this inconvenient feature, I won't use it. :( Good work so far though.

Is there any way to exclude channels from using the highlights feature? I have Carbonite installed and it has a couple chat channels. My name often pops up in there and I get a bunch of coded garble from the mod in my SCT.
