This is the fix that worked for me. Using the current version 1.2.1, replace /modules/PlayerNames.lua with the one from version 1.1.2.

So basically.. I am using v1.2.1 with the PlayerNames.lua module from the 1.1.2 version. Hope this works for you too.

As previously said there is an issue with clipping on character names, If I shift click a name, When someone logs on, etc there is an issue which clips the last character of the name off which makes it not only be an invalid name and incapable of being clicked on to open up a whisper but also makes class colors impossible since they don't actually exist.

Example

[Annihilate] has logged on (Correct)
[Annihilat] has logged on (Current)

So far, your latest version is working great for me. Having none of the issues that people below me are having. One thing that I would like to ask though. In the "Highlights" sections of the chatter set up options, there is the "Custom Channel Sounds", where I can set sounds to specific types of channel chat. These work great for me since I have multiple tabs running at once now. But one channel that there isnt an option for is the new RealID whispers. I have 2 seperate tabs that im using for whispers. One for regular WoW whispers and another for whispers sent to me via my friends in RealID. If you could add this channel to the custom sound channels options, that would be great. Thank you & keep up the good work!

Haven't noticed many changes from the old and new version, good or bad. Except one, when people on my friendlist log in now, it cuts the last letter of there name off.

Example:
[Toonname] has logged on. (Before)
[Toonnam] has logged on. (Now)

This is a bit of a bother due to, I am one of the people who sees that and am like, "Oh, my friend has logged on. *clicks name in chatbox*" ...But seeing as there is no character named Toonnam, it tries to /w someone that doesn't exist. I mean this isn't an OMG CRITICAL problem, but none the less, it is quite annoying.

That drives me crazy, too. My whole UI is set up to have the chat box at the top and it becomes nasty & ugly when it's at the bottom. Any chance of a fix for this?

I could have sworn that before this version, I was able to hold shift while mouse-scrolling to instantly move down to the bottom of the chat. Now I have to scroll down all the way through all of it. Am I just imagining things?

Not that it's a huge deal, but the chattab function doesn't save after logging.

i have mine hidden, box is still checked but they're there. uncheck and check they go away until you log in again. i'll file a bug with it tomorrow when i can think a bit more clearly and post all the full details with it

Ok, the new update works better than the older version, ie: doesnt reset to default location. However, I think you may have missed something in the coding.

When you hold shift and click on a name in the chat to view thier info, if the persons name is more than 10 characters, Chatter will not list it. In other words, it only shows 10 characters. This makes it hard to invite people when doing ALT + click.

Other than that, Im satisfied with it. One other thing, is there any way to adjust the height of the edit box? With Blizz new changes, the edit box is quite thinner than in 3.3.3.

Thanks...

I edited the channelnames.lua file so it would format the bnet whispers to be in the same fashion as regular whispers added @ line 33

["BN Whisper From"] = "[BN:From]",
["BN Whisper To"] = "[BN:To]",
["away BN Whisper To"] = "<Away>[BN:To]",
["busy BN Whisper To"] = "<Busy>[BN:To]"

Added @ line 179

text = gsub(text, L["To (|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:"))
text = gsub(text, L["To <Away>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["away BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:"))
text = gsub(text, L["To <Busy>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"], channels["busy BN Whisper To"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:"))
text = gsub(text, L["(|HBNplayer.-|h) whispers:"], channels["BN Whisper From"] .. (mod.db.profile.addSpace and " %1:" or "%1:"))

And added the localization to the enUS.lua file @ line 81

L["To (|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true
L["To <Away>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true
L["To <Busy>(|HBNplayer.-|h):"] = true
L["(|HBNplayer.-|h) whispers:"] = true

I'm seeing class colors, but not for guild/friend signons, but this is because names are getting cut off by one character. E.g. Palladia -> Palladi

Not sure if this is an error or not. But when using both Chatter and FlagRSP I will randomly get a message that flashes across my screen for xtensiontooltip: < > usually with my char name in the message. I have disabled chatter and no longer was getting the random messages like that. I do know the xtensiontooltip is a channel created by flagrsp but wondering if it this was something that is fixable by one of the options or a possible bug. If anyone knows please help. Thanks.

I kinda know the cause of this but still not sure if its part of an option or a bug. Im guessing that at any point when someone clicks on the characters profile that message comes up. But yeah still looking for any help in the matter.

Default UI added "R" for Chat Whisper and "Shift+R" for Re-Whisper now.

I also don't get class coloring except for /who and Guild channels.

I haven't been able to isolate my problems to chatter, or cellular, but my reply keybind "R" usually does not work.

Also, player names are working for guild chat, but no other channels are showing the colors.
