Not a working version. Gets this lua error when you try to send a whisper in the pop-up box:

Also the whisper appears in it's own chat tab, which is usuable, but the box is still on the screen

This worked for me but it's definitely not perfect, the separate tab still comes up in my chatbox even with no messages in it. Still, I'll take it for the time being. Thanks!
