Fix:

StaticPopupDialogs['MENUITEM_SET_MAIN'] = {
text = L["Who is %s's main?"],
button1 = TEXT(ACCEPT),
button2 = TEXT(CANCEL),
hasEditBox = 1,
maxLetters = 128,
exclusive = 0,
OnShow = function(self)
self.editBox:SetFocus();
end,
OnHide = function(self)
-- if ( _G[frame:GetName().."EditBox"]:IsShown() ) then
-- _G[frame:GetName().."EditBox"]:SetFocus();
-- end
self.editBox:SetText("");
end,
OnAccept = function(self, char)
local main = self.editBox:GetText();
mod:AddAlt(char, main);
self:Hide();
end,
EditBoxOnEnterPressed = function(self, char)
local main = self:GetParent().editBox:GetText();
mod:AddAlt(char, main);
self:GetParent():Hide();
end,
EditBoxOnEscapePressed = function(self) self:GetParent():Hide() end,
timeout = 0,
whileDead = 1,
hideOnEscape = 1
}

as of patch today (4.0.1a) several options activated regardless of if they were enables in options. re-disabling them fixes this easily, but wanted to let people know in case it was causing problems for others.

For me, the option "Use Alt key for cursor movement" has been on even if it's unchecked until I check it and uncheck it. It's been happening since 4.0.1. I basically have to re-tell Chatter to not require Alt.

update on this issue

3 options which i disable (hovering tooltips, backgrounds/borders, and alt names) all activate every time i log in/reload, yet all still appear deactivated in settings, like i said, you just re-click them to fix it, but always defaults back every log in. has happened since 4.0.1a. and this may be a coincidence, but i'm experiencing similar issue with chatters alphabetical neighbor chinchilla with 2 settings(compass and range circle) although with chinchilla, the settings actually appear enabled. funny thing is all 5 of these settings i absolutely hate, yet can live with on, and i suppose will keep on instead of constantly fixing them.

My chat entry box font does not change like the rest of the chat frame. Why is this?

I keep getting some issues with "action failed because of an addon" messages that appear to be caused by Chatter. Here's a snip from my taint.log

Is the custom channel sound in the highlights module working? The sound selectors are displaying the absolute paths to sound files, and even selecting one doesn't make any sound.

The 'You are not in a guild' messag is indeed a general wow issue that needs fixing. it happens to anyone with or without a chat addon of any sort.

I keep having a problem with the chat edit box on only one of my characters. It keeps moving from the right to the default position when I log her on, and only her. I click 'free-floating' and then 'free-floating locked' and it bounces back to the right where I have position it originally without me having to actually move it again, so it knows where it should be. Seems it is not storing the changes in the savedvariables folder, but restoring it to defualt every time she is logged on.

Iv also been having a problem with macros reporting to the right channel. It just will not report to the channel im talking in, it keeps spamming over and over a random channel. I can even type in the macro /Raid 'Blah blah blah' and it will still spam it in guild chat. This has only occured since the patch and I have disabled Chatter and it works fine then so I know chatter is the source of the problem.

Any idea whats causing this? I use all the same mods on this characters as I do all the others so nothing can be interfearing with it. I run Chatter version 1.2.9-3-5-gc613d48

When I set an "alt" for someone it usually hides my UI. (Same as hitting Alt-Z) Once and awhile it won't, but 90% of the time it does.

What happened to the feature where Chatter would scroll through chat fast with CTRL+Mousewheel and scroll to the top with Shift+Mousewheel? I know it was bugged or something a while back but I've been sorely missing it and the option for multiple lines Mousewheel Scroll doesn't seem to work for me...

How can I disable the mouseover effect of the chat's background? I can't seem to find the option.

Buttons are always hidden regardless of settings. Only the scroll to bottom button appears and it shows up inside the text window

I was using Prat, and came to this because i heard good things

LOVE the design but i'm getting the same problem as prat.. Both programs seem to think i'm NOT in a guild and therefore refuse to let me chat in guild chats.

this is very frustrating. I can't use a chat program with a good ui i am using without this issue.. HELP!

This is not a chatter, or indeed any chat mod that is doing this.
It is a known blizzard bug that they have yet to fix.
It is happening to anyone at any random time, with or without a chat mod

I hope the Highlight module sound selectors is a bug, and not a bad pun on the users... :(
