ChipperChat
Version: 1.1.2
by: Seerah [More]
With the 3.3.5 patch, there were several features added to the default UI for the chat frames. Many of them were things that I had been using a larger chat addon for, and now could move to something smaller. I decided to create that smaller chat addon myself, and ChipperChat was born.


Features:
  • Hide chat buttons (jump to bottom button moved to lower-right corner, only shows when you are scrolled up)
  • Move edit box to the top of the chat frame
  • [optional] New editbox textures
  • Move chat frames to edges of screen
  • Channel abbreviations
  • Increased chat history
  • Now with support for extra chat frames! (whisper/conversation windows)


How To Install:
  • place ChipperChat folder inside Interface\AddOns
  • [optional] place CHATFRAME folder (located in ChipperChat folder) inside the Interface folder (NOT in AddOns) for the new editbox textures
  • log into the game and open up Interface Options > Social
  • select "Classic Style" in the Chat Style dropdown (this will let the edit box hide when not in use and give access to the chat tabs when edit box is set to be on top)


How To Configure:
This addon is configurable only through a .lua file. Open up cc_options.lua in any text editor. (My editor of choice is Notepad++.) If you make extensive changes to the defaults, I suggest saving a backup of your edited copy of cc_options.lua. All options in that file are documented extensively. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments here.


Want More Features?
(Note: The addons listed below are by no means "the best" or "the only" options. They are merely an example of what is available.)

Go to Interface Options > Social > "Chat Timestamps" and select a style from the dropdown menu

I suppose I should disable all my addons but Chipperchat, but I'm at work atm. I don't have any other chat addons, except one that plays a tone on different messages, nothing to do with the windows.
This just started for me yesterday as well. I'm not sure why. Try shift+scroll-down to see if that will still get you to the bottom.
