Posted Jul 2, 2010-Go to line 85 in Chatter\Modules\ChatTabs.lua
-Change CHAT_FRAME_TAB_ALERTING_NOMOUSE_ALPHA = 0 to CHAT_FRAME_TAB_ALERTING_NOMOUSE_ALPHA = 1
This is probably a bug as otherwise the tabs don't alert at all. (At least there should be an option to allow this).
One thing I'm confused about: I just switched from Prat to Chatter today, and Chatter is supposed to be more lightweight.
Prat used ~460KB memory (I had a lot of the modules disabled).
Chatter is using ~1.5MB memory (I have most of the modules disabled, but that doesn't seem to change the memory usage).
Is that because Chatter modules aren't really load on demand?

Posted Jul 2, 2010Shabazza, CopyChat is accessible in the chat tab, the icon is gone not sure when it as removed, but its no longer in the code, just in the chat tab menu. UPDATE: I re-added the icon
redrenius,angrysteel: when a auto whisper window is made, i got and copy that whisper form whenevereditbox is lives in. Blizz code is supposed todo it, but doesnt all the time. Im fixing it now, so it shouldnt double copy messages. and not loose the initial.
Also working on fixing the mouse not working for edits int he editbox.

Posted Jul 2, 2010Ever since release I have the problem with typing special letters in my language (ń ą). The issue is that those letters are typed using combinations with right ALT button (ALT + A for ą, ALT + N for ń), or sometimes left CTRL + ALT. The point is, right ALT is often recognized as CTRL + ALT, and in chat CTRL + N is recognized as a shortcut for going through previously typed messages (it erases messages, shows some previous message and inserts ń after that). Also CTRL + A is recognized as selection of all typed text, with ALT + A, game selects whole messages and types ą on top of it (erasing message completely and leaving only ą in message field).
I wonder if it is possible to block CTRL + N and CTRL + A bindings when ALT is also pressed with them. If it is impossible, then I would love to see an option of manually disabling CTRL + N and CTRL + A permanently in an addon.

Posted Jul 2, 2010Confirmed, angrysteel.
Another issue is that if you have whispers enabled for more than one chat frame - I have them enabled for the frame I have raids in so I can easily see if I get a new whisper, then a separate whisper frame - the whisper shows up twice in the new conversation window. There also seems to be an issue with timestamps.
This is me whispering myself 'hi' once (whispering shown in 3 chat frames currently due to settings not saving properly, also note the missing time stamp):
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[W:To] [Me]: hi
Edit: Ok ignore the timestamp bit, was just some of the chat frames had it disabled in chatter for some reason, seems to show up after I enabled it, still a bit dodgy that it shows up for the first message though.

Posted Jul 2, 2010Any chance to add a setting in the next release to disable Sticky Chat for Real ID?
Other than that, works it great :)

Posted Jul 1, 2010Using: A: v1.2.4-2-ga69cce2 for 3.3.5 on 01 Jul 2010
Not sure if this was the issue Redrenius was having or not, it seems like the exact opposite. With Automatic Whisper Windows module enabled, i do not see the initial whisper sent to me in the general tab. The initial whisper will only show up in the actual whisper window. All other whispers from the same person will show up in the general chat tab as well as the whisper tab (working as intended im assuming). Its just the very first whisper from each new person sending a tell, will not be displayed in the general tab.
This is using the older chat style, not the new IM chat settings (not sure if that makes a difference).
