For some odd reason, the last letter of some names are getting cut off in the chat frame. IE, my toon name is Ashthra, but it comes up as [Ashthr]. A friend is name Venmohdra, but it comes up [Venmohdr]. It seems only to do it with names ending with A, but I haven't extensively tested it yet.

It's annoying. :(

Yeah I came her to report the same issue.
When a friend logs on, I get "frien has come online"

If I try to click that name to give them a tell, I get player not found.

I also cannot use my mouse to highlight test in the edit box.
Clicking and dragging on the edit box grabs the tabs underneath.

...that said, in EU, current version of the game is still 3.3.3. I think we get 3.3.5 next week.

ChatTabs and ChannelNames are both acting funky. Neither one will save my configuration through a ReloadUI quite right.

I can't seem to copy over my chatter setting, including chat window placement, to another character using the options in profiles. I have my profile select, copy over from the character that has the setting I want and nothing. What am I doing wrong?

you have to actually turn O chat back on in the settings of the chat frame, for some reason it was disabled.

Ok, fixed the edit box with what mavericace said. Thanks.

Notice that Officer chat does not work. Cannot view what I wrote nor can anyone else see what I wrote. And yes, I have the permissions as Im the Guild Leader.

Tried the fix that Baelmah did, but no go. Names still being cut off and I get several errors. Hope to hear of a fixed release by the author "soon".

When ever I get a sign on alert, either from guild of friends list, the last letter of there name is cut off makes it annoying to and try and whisper them or invite them to groups by right-clicking.

Do you have the Alt Linking Module on? If the person has their guild note as their name for whatever reason that will happen.

Another issue I'm seeing is a problem with names. SOme people in guild show up in chat while talking like this.

[G][Adyan][Adyan] Hello guild.

While others have the normal syntax.

to anyone having issues with the alignment of certain elements delete your saved variables and anything else related to the old versions of Chatter then reinstall the newest version found here. This solved every problem that has been mentioned so far with the exception of 2, Edit box history is not working (unless the up and down buttons are no longer the default keybinds) and I cannot mouse click a location in the edit box to place the cursor there if iI have moved the box to some place other than the top or bottom anchored positions.

Downloaded this mod yesterday, and I love it so far. The only problem I've found is it doesn't seem to want to save the chat boxes without borders/backgrounds. I've checked it off - but after I logout of the character, exit WoW - and come back to WoW later, borders and backgrounds are back. Other than that, great mod. I can move my chat box now! :)

The input box isn't letting me select text at all and the alt names isn't working at all.

I have updated to the latest version of Chatter (v1.2.1-6-g6ab1a77) and am still having an issue with my chat window resetting position upon reload/logout. I attempted the check+uncheck disable buttons strategy, but this did not work either. Perhaps I am doing something wrong here. It has gotten to the point where I reposition my chat window with a macro every time I load in (ie. /run ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT","UIParent","BOTTOMLEFT",0,3) and other SetHeight and SetWidth commands, etc). Maybe that has something to do with it.

Edit: This was exactly my problem. I had to reposition the chat window manually for it to start saving its position. It should be noted that once the position is saved you can go in to your character's chat-cache.txt to resize and reposition to your liking (especially if you're anal like I am and want window positioned exactly 3 pixels from the bottom of the screen).

2 Issues, First is the "alignment or clipping" with the tabs on the chat windows. I currently use 2 sets of windows, first one is the general tab and combat log in one, the second one i made for guild, party, raid chat to keep unwanted info out of important guild, party, raid info. Anyways, when i hover over the tabs, the mouse sometimes has to be above the tab in order to click or move that chat window. Second issue, the mouse scroll feature will only work at one speed. No matter how many "lines" i set the scroll too, it always scrolls at the same speed.
