Class coloring doesn't seem to work in custom channels any more, also it would be great if you could find a way to re-enable old(pre 3.5) tab fading behavior. A way to hid the damn friends button as well as the minimize buttons would be welcome and much appreciated too. Great addon, one I can't play without nowadays.

I don't see the "Copy Chat" button anymore in the bottom right ever since 3.3.5 (using latest alpha version as of posting this).

Also, the Player Names options don't seem to be working to color player names by class in the chatbox.

I've tried checking and unchecking the enable module buttons, but that doesn't fix the problem either.

Whats up with chatter now. Since the last update today many things in the options lost. No way to set text size, class coloring doesn't work, ...
Is this a bug?

To copy text you need to right click on the chat tab and select Copy Text. While I did like the little button that would let me copy, that was also very good at disappearing for me.

I am also having the same issue as stated below, character names are being cut off by one or two characters.

Thank you for updating so fast!

The little icon on the lower right, that allows you to copy chat, is gone. How do I now copy chat?? I cant find anything to click on, or how to make it work.

I dont know why people below are having so many issues, mine actually works fine, except for one thing. When logging out and back in, either on same toon or an ALT, then chat window moves to the default location. Yes I can move it back, but it gets rather annoying for every toon.

Otherwise, I love this mod and cannot live in chat without it!

The newest version (may be alpha I'm too lazy to check) actually sorted that issue.

Also having this issue, with log ons and invites. Additionally having trouble displaying names with foreign characters in them, for those names it is making the whole line of text unreadable for logons and invites, but so far doesn't affect any other type of chat (guild/trade etc)

I'm having trouble getting players names colored (Not by class, using the by name color). Works for players names who type in gchat, but not in whispers or any public channel D:

ChatFrameEditBox is now renamed to ChatFrame1EditBox.
Meaning, you have to edit the AltNames.lua file, changing each instance of ChatFrameEditBox to ChatFrame1EditBox.
Hope that helps!

Is it possible with this addon to scroll through my previous messages by just using the 'up' and 'down' key when I'm in the editbox? I hate having to use 'Alt+Up' and 'Alt+Down' for this crap, so I'm trying to find an addon that allows me to not have to worry about it.

I'm currently using Prat, but I'm always willing to try different addons. I'm currently having a problem with the chat window resetting every time I log off, like everybody else. I'm just looking to try something different, but I want to make sure that I'm able to just use the 'up' and 'down' key to scroll through my text without having to use alt. If it's possible, how do I set it up?
