i have two types of copy chat codes. this one i like more. so i would like to try to keep it for cata. mainly to have the open copy chat. when you right click on the chat tab. a great thing.

i guess i should say how the error happens. all is fine. even when that copy chat box is open. its when i click in the chat box. or try to copy. the chat.

help would be very very greatfull. or if i can have help on shorting this down

thanks again for your time.

edit.
after going though things. i think its to do with

if CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and not text:find("^|r") then text = BetterDate(CHAT_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, _G.time())..text

of what is not in that part of the code i posted. but its in the script. it adds a timestamp to things that dont always have a timestamp. as when i remove it., it seems to be ok. and also if i dont remove this. and just remove

frame:SetBackdrop({ bgFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\wChat\\media\\UI-DialogBox-Background.blp", edgeFile = "Interface\\AddOns\\wChat\\media\\UI-DialogBox-Border.blp", tile = true, tileSize = 16, edgeSize = 16, insets = {left = 3, right = 3, top = 5, bottom = 3 }}) frame:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0, 1) frame:SetWidth(500) frame:SetHeight(400) frame:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, "LEFT", 3, 10) frame:SetFrameStrata("DIALOG") frame:Hide()

from the copy code. it is fine also. the background isnt there but is fine. very stange.
