See if you get the same error with WIM as the only addon loaded. I have never seen this before so I'm assuming it is an addon conflict.

Thanks, after going by my addons enabling first everyone on starting on A, then everyone on B etc. I found out it's Macaroons minimap addon that messed things up!

btw, Love Wim... can't play without it anymore :D

To open 2 wow on a mac, just duplicate the app, not the launcher, and make sure it has the same name as the original app plus a space before the dot.

Original "World of Warcraft.app"
copy "World of Warcraft .app"

@pazza: noticed in the Change Log that you were unable to dual-box on your Mac. I've actually figured out how to do that. Right-click on "World of Warcraft.app" and choose "Show Package Contents", then navigate to MacOS-->World of Warcraft, and double-click on the icon to open a new instance of the WoW client.

This will open a Terminal window, which you will need to leave open until you've exited the second instance of WoW. I find doing this invaluable to A)testing addons I'm developing, B)stealthily booting my wife off the server when she gets uppity.

;P Only joking about B. I like living >.>

Oftentimes when in combat and/or just replying to someone, my chat box will jump to the top of the screen, not at all where i have it set to spawn at.

Other times it will grow the entire vertical length of the screen and take up top to bottom. The only fix for this is to close the window by shift clicking the minimize button.

It also appears in a different location than I set when i get multiple conversations. About a 1/8th of an inch lower.

Any fixes for these problems? Are they known issues?

Love the add on, the jump to the top of the screen thing drives me nuts though.

Actually the issues you mentioned were really old and I have not heard anymore of them. Make sure you are patched up and if still you have a problem, you may disable Expose in /wim

First of all thank you for this amazing addon.

I have a problem though. Sometimes when someone whispers me the WIM window comes up blank. Its recorded in the whisper history and i can see what they said but not shown in the whisper window itself. It appears to happen randomly. Also, whispers that I receive after the blank one from different people are not affected. Once it happens though all whispers from that person are invisible until i reload the UI.

If there is anything else i can do or info i can provide let me know.

Ok... I'm on a private server (Echelonedwow.net) and I can't get WIM to show up... It shows up on the addon page on the character screen, but not when I go onto any of my characters. Any ideas? Is the the private server?

Apparently since the last update(v3 3.2.2) WIM is causing the "You aren't in a party" message again :(

I got some strange periodic very short freeze screens at frequent intervals of 5-10sek when using the 3.2.1.
I turned all addons off, then reloaded by switching every addon at a time back on. No matter if I just use WIM standalone or with all my addons i get this freeze screen.
Switched back to 3.1.3 ignoring the error messages, but the freezes are gone.
Didn't know what else to do.

Me and my wife have the exact same issue with the newest version. We have to disable WIM for now because it is unplayable.

Any known issues between WIM and Chatter? I have the latter and really enjoy it, but I need a chat window manager and WIM sounds like just the thing.

I am not sure if I am missing some setting, but is there a way to have wim store the location of chat windows between uses?

Only the initial spawn location. Your query is on my list of things to do however.
