You don't shift click the tab. you shift click the X (close) button.
Shift clicking the tabs allows you to pull a tab out of a tab group.

This is a great addon, thanks for developing this and keeping it up to date with all the changes that Blizz throws at us.

The only issue I am having with it, is when I shift+click to close windows (I use the tabbed feature). I will click to close one, but it separates it from the tabbed window instead. Then things go down from there. Whomever whispered me last is the only person I can reply to. I can click in a different window, type a response and hit enter to send but it goes to that last person that whispered me before the error happened. The only way I can fix this, since at that point WiM doesn't work at all, is to log out and back in.

I would love to have the ability to tab between windows again, and to not have my focus taken away while I'm typing a reply to someone if someone else whispers me.

What's going on with the support for Fubar ?

At the request of users, WIM now uses only LibDataBroker, installing Broker2Fubar should allow you to use this module with Fubar

I know this is probably some huge oversight on my part but I cannot seem to get the new version to run in tabbed mode. Any help on this would be great.

In response to everyone who posted that only 3.0.3 is working for them. This is because you are using other out of date addons which are still loading WhoLib-1.0. This library is obsolete to the addon community. Support for it will not be added to WIM.

Another note, if you are reporting a bug, do so at WIMAddon.com. Comments stating something doesn't work or I get an error are not helpful to me and will be ignored.

Thank you.

I actually had a real nasty lua error when i received a bunch of tells at same time. Posted item in trade and then got 4 whispers at same time and upon receiving the 4th one the tab never appeared but instead threw up an LUA and wim locked up and nothing could be clicked or closed or used, whispers started going back to chat frame, WIM was essentially dead. I'll post the error once I can log back into client but realms down at the moment doh.

Got the same problem. 3.0.3 working but with errors, 3.0.4 didn't work at all. Haven't tried 3.0.5 yet. Kind of disabled WIM after 3.0.4 and haven't re-enabled. Almost forgotten about it. The 3x series so far hasn't allowed me to shift+click to link anything in whispers so had to disable WIM to be able to link gear and enchants to friends. Only just got back in to WoW since WotLK.

You are using an old version of SpamSentry. Update it and your problem will go away.

Is there any way to stop it from automatically selecting the box of someone who just send me a tell? Meaning, I'll be in teh middle of typing something somewhere else, whether in gchat or otherwise, someone will whisper me, and it'll automatically deselect whatever I'm writing and just select nothing at all, so I usually end up jumping in the air and opening all sorts of random tabs. It does the same if I'm sending someone a tell in another box, so I'm constantly having to switch back to teh box I was originally typing in. And since the tab function doesn't work, I have to manually move it back with the mouse. Kind of a pain when 5 people are whispering me at once.

Other than that, and the fact that it's been erroring out the last day or so but I'm hoping a reinstall will fix that...lol, other than that, love the add-on :D

This is a greataddon! I use it for a long time now and I really like the new additions put in it.

There is however a small bug now. It intercepts the rightclicking of names in chat. Normally I get a list of actions to take with that persons name (like reporting the spammers) and there are other addons i use wich put actions on that list too, but when I rightclick a name in chat now I get immediately WIM popped up to sent that person a tell.
In the Wim options I could only find "intercept slash command" wich already was turned off, so i was hoping a new version will fix this little problem.

Please keep up the good work!
