    ChatEdit  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: 3.1.40000
    by: AnduinLothar [More]
    ChatEdit is another complicated mod to do something simple: allow you to select your chat text for copying. Simply shift-click a chat frame to enter 'edit mode'.

    Edit mode is basically an editbox in which the text won't let you change it. The editbox directly overlaps the chat frame and is scrollable and resizable by the normal methods, as well as a scroll bar that pops up to the right. To make copying less painful no text will be added to the editbox while in edit mode, but it will appear in the chat frame when you leave edit mode.

    To exit edit mode click anywhere on the WorldFrame or hit escape.

    ChatEdit also increases the default chat frame memory from 128 lines to 500.

    Note: For reasons of auto-line wrapping and non-standard width fonts it is nearly impossible to figure out what scroll position the chat frame is at. For this reason when you enter edit mode it will always scroll down to the bottom. Also be aware that the editbox has smooth scrolling as opposed to the chat frame's line by line scrolling.

    Note: Thankfully the text string length editbox bug was fixed in a past WoW patch. If you ever run into a repeatable case where the selectable text is empty, let me know!

    -Now starts storing chat messages as soon as the addon loads instead of waiting until PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD required by the old chat system

    Font goes invisible...
    In case anyone saw the previous edit: Turns out it didn't fix itself...

    The text just goes transparent or gets hidden somehow when you activate the frame to select the text to copy. It's there, you shift click, and poof- gone. You can still select it, but can not see it.

    Anyone have a clue? Doesn't happen every time, but usually.

    Blizzard editbox bug. It happens when you have between 255 and 770 characters of text.

    Ah. So it's not just me. Good to know. Here's hoping Blizzard fixes it!

    Sea?
    The previous version, 1.1, did not list Sea as a required dependency, but version 1.2 does. Is this intentional, or a mistake?

    Mod Updates
    This and ChatClear are the only two mods I use, and most likely will ever use. They are excellent!

    However, I'm wondering... Will an update be provided for this mod? Or should we continue Loading out of date AddOns?

    Thanks!

    Re: Mod Updates
    I usually don't update toc's on mod sites unless the addon breaks. However, the latest version is always in Cosmos if that helps.

    Re: Error Message at Login
    Looks like a GEM bug, that's in the ChatFrame.AddMessage hook.
    ChatEdit.ChatFrameAddMessage(self, text, r, g, b, lineID)
    One of r,g,b was passed as a table instead of a number.
