I would say it is entirely located in the addon, because I disabled them all but Prat and it is still happening.

Me too, the chat line used to be canceled with Esc. If even to send it you need to click in-to it.
This happens if I start a new line and get distracted and open a different overlay in-game, which happens a lot.
If I'm not mistaken, control is handed over to the new overlay and the opened chat line is forgotten. It used to *not* relinquish control to the overlay (hmmm.. I neglected to check for an overlay setting).

It is different though.

hi, why does your addon add freezes to the game?

wow classic, wow bfa

Currently no longer have a 'scroll up' button on my chat screen.

The addon is causing stuttering when there is a pull timer or after a few arena games(chat spam). What may be causing this?

something in this addon is preventing the return of chat tab names i think,havea  simple addon that send ah messages to a chat tab named "AH" and surpresses it for allothers,with prat enabled it surpresses but does not send to "AH" tab

In reply to sylvanaar:

 simple code,here si the entire addon

-- This file is loaded from "AuctionHouseMessages.toc"

-- this addon will redirect auction system messages to a temporary
-- chat tab named "AH"

local tabName = "AH" -- name for temporary tab 

-- fill auctionStrings with pattern matches for auction events
auctionStrings = {}
for k,v in pairs({
    -- delete any lines here you don't want redirected
    ERR_AUCTION_EXPIRED_S, -- "Your auction of %s has expired."
    ERR_AUCTION_OUTBID_S, -- "You have been outbid on %s."
    ERR_AUCTION_REMOVED_S, -- "Your auction of %s has been cancelled by the seller."
    ERR_AUCTION_SOLD_S, -- "A buyer has been found for your auction of %s."
    ERR_AUCTION_WON_S, -- "You won an auction for %s"
    ERR_AUCTION_BID_PLACED, -- "Bid accepted."
    ERR_AUCTION_REMOVED, -- "Auction cancelled."
    ERR_AUCTION_STARTED, -- "Auction created."
  }) do
  v = v:gsub("%.","%%."):gsub("%%s",".-")
  tinsert(auctionStrings,v)
end

-- returns the Auctions temporary chat tab if it exists
-- if create is true, creates one if needed
local function getAuctionTab(create)
  -- look for existing tab with "Auctions" as a name
  for _,name in pairs(CHAT_FRAMES) do
    local frame = _G[name]
    if frame.name == tabName then
      return frame
    end
  end
  -- none found
  if create then
    local frame = FCF_OpenTemporaryWindow("SYSTEM")
    FCF_SetWindowName(frame,tabName)
    return frame,true
  end
end

-- returns true if msg matches any of the known auctionStrings
local function hasAuctionText(msg)
  for i=1,#auctionStrings do
    if msg:match(auctionStrings[i]) then
      return true
    end
  end
end

-- this chat filter only runs for CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM
local function filter(self, event, msg, ...)
  if hasAuctionText(msg) then
    local auctionTab,justCreated = getAuctionTab(true)
    if self==auctionTab then
      return false,msg,... -- pass auction chats to auction tab
    else -- auction chat going to non-auction tab
      if justCreated then
        -- if just created an auction tab, manually add the creating auction message
        local color = ChatTypeInfo["SYSTEM"]
        auctionTab:AddMessage(msg,color.r,color.g,color.b)
      end
      return true -- suppress auction chats to non-auction tabs
    end
  elseif self==getAuctionTab() then
    return true -- suppress non-auction chats to auction tab
  end
  -- everything else pass as if nothing happened
  return false,msg,...
end

-- create filter
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM",filter)

 tyvm for the help and also for the awesome addon prat,did as u said and it works :)

CopyChat doesnt work for me at all. Cause that LUA error:

 No problem, you doing a great job! Using Prat since vanilla :) Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
