Posted Mar 31, 2026In reply to LilingPanda: unfortunately this is true. In order not to break everything, I had to prevent the default UI from recording who sent last whisper so /r and shortcut r will not work while in chat lockdown. You'll have to click their name in chat to reply unfortunately. I've tried everything I can think of so far. Anything wim touches with a secret breaks. I'll keep brainstorming but so far I'm at an impasse

Posted Mar 29, 2026In reply to PedjaSenpai: tell blizzard you don't like it.
Chat events can not be handled while chat is locked down in m+. WIM recovers once the lockdown has been lifted.
I'm working on a way for the reply command to work again. I had to override it, otherwise you'd have to reload your UI between lockdowns

You're correct, I didndisabke it. It has to be revisited because of another wall in it with this expansion. It isn't WIM that's blocking those messages. It is blizzard. I think there is another setting that does it. I'll revisit it once other issues are resolved.

Thankfully, it looks like RealPazza is testing updates. New alpha builds are coming out fairly quick. I have no idea if those updates are for this, or other things, but! There's at least that.
Just in case mine weren't enough (since I did mention this a weekish, maybe less, ago), might help us if you also grabbed bug throws from something like bugsack, and throw 'em down in a comment somewhere.
Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing this still!
