What setting controls the display of any chat line containing my name in big letters on the screen? I don't mind this normally, but Carbonite uses chat channels to sync certain information and messages in those channels that include my name are displayed and that's annoying. I'd like to turn it off for those channels, but I can't even find where the setting is. Turning off highlighting of my own name didn't turn off this display.

So that's what causes that. I'd also like to see this suppressed. I'm getting yellow text with Carbonite internal messages that shouldn't be displayed.

The standard WoW chatbox font/size seems to be overriding my chatter settings so that I have to reset them every time I login. I feel like the fix is staring me right in the face but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

You likely have other addon messing with chat settings. Go to Addons panel at character selection screen and click "disable all addons then enable only Chatter and see if it works.

I'm having this problem too. It seems to be QuestHelper that's doing it.

It couldn't. QH does not have anything to do with Chat settings.

That would seem to be true, logically, and yet if you look on the QH addon page here on Curse, you will see several people (including myself) who have posted about this problem, and an acknowledgment by the author that something in QH is causing the problem (though he doesn't know what).

Then report it to QH author as well and see if he can confirm or explain the issue?

I have the issue that every time I log on to WoW I have to reset my text bar to be on-top of the text window where I like it. I've read that Quest Helper is the cause of this but in my case I fail to see how this could be; I don't use QH at all, and do not even have it installed.

For now I've ceased using Chatter until this issue is resolved.

I have the same issue.
I have to use CT_Mod to reset my chatbox to be on TOP of the chat, instead of at the bottom, where I prefer to have my gold, position, etc showing on fubar

Another issue with Chatter (not a bug, more of a wish).
With recent Blizzard's (as always - half-assed) chat improvement allowing to see class colors in chat without relying on a gathered data, I have problem interpreting the chat properly.

Could you please add grey "?" for unknown levels if Blizzard option to show colored names is enabled?

Chatter is a great addon which does everything I need for a chat mod. I have only one issue, but it's pretty frustrating.

I have seen the question asked a couple times, but have seen no answer. Is there a way to disable the arrow keys from pulling up previous chat box lines when I'm typing? I use arrow keys to move, and so cannot move while I have an active chat edit window up - instead it scrolls through stuff I had typed before. I have tried disabling the edit box history, but all that seems to do is remember it between sessions. I don't want Chatter to ever pull up my previous edit box history and to leave the arrow key function alone, so I can fly and type at the same time without steering into a cliff - or worse, move out of fire in a raid when I was typing something. =/

Thanks for the addon.

Ah, if it is a Blizzard interface issue then that is one that definitely needs a fix. I used to be able to type and use arrow keys for movement at the same time, and now I cannot.
