tabs sometimes reappear

[Aur0r4]

Hi sylvanaar,

i have configured Prat to hide chat tabs, however some tabs (often the general tab, but sometimes also a whisper tab) are shown sporadically.

These are my default tabs:

This is what it usually looks like (tabs hidden):

This is what it looks like when the tab reappears:

If you move the mouse over the tab for a short time, it disappears again.

Is this a bug or a wanted feature? I first noticed it at the beginning of WoW-Classic, when I installed Prat Classic. But for quite some time now I have had the problem in Retail WoW as well, that's what my request now refers to.

cheers Aur0r4

Do you have the disable flashing option on too.

The game itself has an option to disable tab flashing - is that on?

The chattabs module is pretty old - it may need an overhaul

[Aur0r4]

Umm... where can I find this option? Never noticed that and I can't find it anywhere.

[sylvanaar]

i don't know how it is set - but:

/script CHAT_OPTIONS.HIDE_FRAME_ALERTS = true

[sylvanaar]

Perhaps I will set that when you enable the disable flashing setting in Prat. Looks like it doesn't work for whispers - Nvm

[Aur0r4]

The "disable flashing" setting is already set in Prat, just checked that: (Sorry its german client, so I can't provide you with english screenshots atm):

I've found a way to reproduce this:

1. hide chat-tabs
2. hide your interface
3. unhide your interface
4. chat tabs are not fading anymore until you mouse-over them

This issue was flagged as stale

Let me now if I can help somehow. Would really like so see this fixed.

I just wanted to say that the problem is fixed since 9.0. But in classic the problem still occurs.
