New in 2.2.0:
- Opening bags should not cause chat frames to resize anymore
- Options to not show channel names and channel numbers should work correctly now
- CFE options moved into the Interface panel
- Added basic options to suppress "channel voice" and "channel owner" spam when joining and leaving channels
- Timestamp settings are unique to each chat frame now
Taking suggestions!
I've been pretty happy with CFE for a long while, and it's been stable and not needing fixes. That said, some changes in the addon system will allow me to make some code changes to optimise things a bit, which I will be doing soon. So, if you have an idea for a feature you think is missing from CFE, now's a good chance to tell me. Either below in comments or by email to satrina@evilempireguild.org

I installed this for a friend of mine and she is on a laptop and I decided to shrink her UI scale a bit to help w/making more space. This of course made her chat box text very small. I was able to improve the size of the text in her channels, but the chatbox itself still had very small letters. Is there a way to make the enlarged font be in both her chat tabs and the chat box? She is legally blind w/o her glasses on.
Originally posted by Satrina Hm, that shouldn't be possible. Did that persist through a reload UI or log out/log in?
Tried a /rl and login/out, it was stiill there. If I use the fix stated below and relog to a new char I have to go through the same process, I can live with it but get annoying when I forget to do it.

I cannot reproduce it at all, even with CFE as the only addon loaded and sitting there spamming bag open. Anything you can tell me about how CFE and your chat frames are configured might help.
Edit: Aha, just got it to do it! Now to figure out what caused it =)
Edit2: Grrrr. And then I reloaded UI and it stopped.
