I'm having a issue with the "Hide Tabs" setting in the /chatter options they hide but soon as I logout and back in they're back I have my chat box's close together so I don't like to see the tabs or it over-laps and looks funky.

Keep up the good work!

Hi

just put in 1.2.2 - most the options don't appear any more at all on the menu and so lots of options inaccessible and going for the standalone config via the big friendly red button does nothing either

Been borked for me since he update 5 days ago, any thoughts anyone?

Cool addon, just love it.

After I upgraded to 1.2 (and all the following) I get the following error on load, and the "input bar" is default blizzard:

Chat scrolling in 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 only works if you turn off the option in the blizzard interface under Social: Enable Mouse Wheel Scrolling.

By default it is on, so it appeared Chatter broke after 1.2. Turning it off fixes the good old chatter scrolling options (shift, control scrolls). Is there some way to make it work this way despite turning off that option for all our chars? Thanks!

Well the coloring players names by selecting the "By Name" option has been fixed for public channels - But I'm having a problem with it coloring players names in whispers - Keep in mind I have a separate window for whispers only. Works fine if I keep it in the main window though :(

Thank you for the update -- looks like the name clipping has been fixed. Right now, I am unable to tab/cycle through whispers using the tab key. When I disable chatter, it works. I got the following error message:

25x Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3739: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value):
Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3847: in function `ChatEdit_OnTabPressed':
<string>:"*:OnTabPressed":1: in function <[string "*:OnTabPressed"]:1>
(tail call): ?:

Locals:
self = nil

Another thing I have noticed. I have it set up so that the brackets are not around player names (ie, Pekti instead of [Pekti]). But this only works in the first tab. All other custom tabs that I have set up show the brackets.

Thanks for the hard work! Will be going back to v1.2.1 until I can get my whisper issue sorted out xD

There looks to be a seperate tab complete function in the playernames module. In lines 109 and 111 in PlayerNames.lua repalce ChatFrameEditBox with ChatFrame1EditBox to fix the error. However, the tab complete in the player names tab completes with names from people in the channel, and there is a further lua error if there are no names to tab complete too. For the short term I've just turned off the player names tab complete on the options page, and while I had to reload my ui to get the change to stick it is now working like it used to.
