I'm finding that I am posting here a lot as of late :P

I am using the outline feature around my text so it's easier on my eyes. Because of this, however, the lines run together slightly -- as in, they overlap vertically just a little bit. Is there a way to increase distance between lines/rows? Thanks!

I accidentally pulled the corner off the edge of my screen and now can no longer get the window to move. Kind of frustrating. A reset position button in the options menu would be awesome, so I don't have to reset my profile from scratch when this happens.

Via a quick look at the comments and asking a few friends who also use Chatter, I've realised this is a problem that a lot of people have. Chatter often displays a character's name in gray -- even my own, sometimes -- rather than the colour of their class. Is there any way I can fix this? It's a pain in the ass. D:

I think it has something to do with the WoW defaults vs. what we tell Chatter to do (ie, color by class in so-and-so tabs/channels). One thing I realized is that I was pretty often seeing people in my party with gray names... even though I told the addon to color by class. Then I went into the actual chat settings (right click on tab, select "settings", not "chatter settings"). I noticed there that the "show class color" boxes were not checked. I checked party and party leader and now it's working just like I want it to. So again, not sure if this is some conflict between the two, or maybe Chatter just isn't making it happen on its own.

Simply right click on your chat tab and click "Make Interactive". That should do it :)

Hello! Thank you for a wonderful addon :) I am currently using the CopyChat feature -- but I find that the icon for it is terrible (looks like the icon for the priest's ability "Fade"). I've been digging around in the files for a while now, but I can't seem to find a place to change this. Any tips? Thanks! :)

It sounds like you simply need to unlock and move the chat window. Try right clicking on your first chat tab and select "unlock window". You should then be able to move it around as you please (make sure to relock it when you are done).

Keep having this problem for several months now, though it might not be related to Chatter, but rather having several chat pullouts. However, if someone has a solution, please share it.

I keep logging in to find my chat windows not where I left them and stacked on top of one another. This is on 1.1.1-3.
I tried updating to the latest version, but this breaks Chatter due to some kind of fault with Stubby.

I'd post the error, but I have a document to write - I'll bring it up later if no-one else does.

Same issue here. I've manually installed the previous version, which works fine. Guess I'll hold on updating until there's a bugfix.
