I really like the add on but one thing truly bothers me. I often sit in town spamming wts messages and to do so I often press Enter > up (until I get to the previous message) then enter again. I believe I'm able to do this due to ElvUI as I dont think its a stock thing. Either way the problem I encounter is if I press up and come across a whisper it forces the last WIM box with that user and will not allow me to proceed beyond that whisper and I can not figure out how to prevent this from happening.
In reply to Calyus: look at window behaviors under whispers in WIM's options. You can set behaviors when you are resting. Try disabling the interception of slash commands.
Getting this error when looking at all recorded Party chats for a realm, and the error triggers every time I click on a new date filter (except for Show All):

When I attempt to "Copy Character Name" via a right click. It does not copy. Is this a known bug?
In reply to SaltyGreg: Any update on this?
How can I change the transparent background in the WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) v3 add-on?
I have encountered an error if I enable another add-on, Big Party Frames. Well, actually 7 errors. If I disable that new add-on WIM works normally.

Still not able to click [Show Message]
Any hope for an update to fix that? Or is it not planned?
are there any keybinds or commands to manage multiple WIM windows? for instance /r replies to the last person that whispered me, but the text that I woudl be typing still shows in default blizzard chat and not on the WIM window. If I want to select a WIM window I have to manually click on it to "enable" the text field on that window. So I'm wondering if there are shortcuts or commands to make it fast to scroll through multiple windows.
Also how can I stack multiple windows and turn them into the tab mode (1 window, multiple tabs for diff conversations)?
Hello, when sending tells in Korean language WIM doesn't work. Is it possible to add the Korean font?

In reply to NiGhTwAlKeR559:
This one has popped up before... If I remember correctly, it was a module or setting in ElvUI that is attempting to modify WIM in some way (maybe its own skin?) that is breaking it.
In reply to RealPazza: Hi, any solution to my problem ? thanks :D

EDIT: Update fixed the issue! Thank you!
Hello! Sorry if there was a post about update being on the way - I didn't spot any, but I am currently getting these errors (I don't have any other addon enabled currently). This pops whenever I try to move the icon/symbol for the addon, cause currently it's not staying locked in its position and keeps wandering around on the screen:

In reply to Merella: Hey! Just letting you know, that the update fixed the issue! Thank you! 💜WIM is one of my favourite addons to use, so great work!
Everytime I login to WoW, since the beginning of classic, my minimap button resets its position. I have had to move it everytime I login.
Hey,
I've been having a recent issue with WIM, and it happened quite randomly.
Usually when I would get whispered, my wow tab would flash up in orange to notify me when I'm out of the game and doing something else. Now it wouldn't inform me anymore. I've tried to pinpoint if other addons were an issue, but it's solely WIM doing it. Do you have any idea what it may be?
In reply to Silvanoire:
Are you using an addon called Flash Taskbar? Its possible since WIM now uses Blizzards MessageEventFilters to block delivery to the default chat frame.
What are you using for the flashing? maybe I can preserve support of it.
In reply to Silvanoire:
Never mind, I see why it isn't working and I will add a patch for that.
