Is there a way to keep the Chat Tab Buttons from fading? I do NOT have Hide Tabs checked. And yes, Enable Chat Tabs is selected.

Currently when I enable spam throttle, the highlights module in chatter stops working. If you can take a look into it that would be great. Thanks!

Yeah it's easily fixed. At the top-left of your chat pane right click the tab and then select "unlock pane" then your chat pane can be moved and resized to your liking. I use a custom UI too with Dominoes and Xperl. I have to do this everytime I set up a UI. Hope this helps. :P

Random Dungeon Instance - cross realm group chat is excluded from copy paste feature.
I am unable to use the copy paste ability in Chatter to see any group chat that took place during a cross realm dungeon. I do hope a fix is in the works as I very frequently share snippets from encounters with both guild mates and to report issues. I am using the february release v1.1.2.

Sounds like the Alt recognition, probably because you have your char's name in the guild notice. Right-click your name (the first one in the chat) and select "Set Main", then delete everything that may be in there and submit an empty input, this should prevent this.

I keep having a problem from time to time, and I think it might be related to Chatter:
I have my combat log in a separate window on the right. Sometimes, when I log on the characters that use Chatter, this second window is placed at the same position as/behind the main one, with the same size, even if it had a different size before. Though it is usually locked, it is moved as well when I unlock the main window and move it, so they can hardly be separated.
Since the German "Allgemein" (General) is the same width as "Kampflog" (Combat Log), it is hard to hit the combat log tab to drag it out. A workaround is to rename the "Allgemein" tab to a shorter name, so I can hit "Kampflog" between this and the second tab of the main window.
So while it can be fixed quickly with the proper technique, it is still rather annoying.

I don't believe this is a problem specific to Chatter. I use Prat and regularly experience exactly the same problem - in fact I was looking here to see if switching to Chatter would fix it!

Hightlighting is a little bit bugged.
I only want 'Tag' highlighted but it gives highlights as well for words like 'OmerTAGuild' because it contains that word.
Requesting a fix for this, or an option to toggle whole words on or off. =)

That is my question as well for the moment. Even a way to just set it to the bottom left corner would work.

I just installed this a few days ago, am getting frustrated on the set up, as it doesnt save anything I set it to...like color player names by class, it will set it, but if I log out and back in...they are grey ...or multicolored. It also will not save profiles...so I have to change on every toon....
