As you know, nUI places the chat edit box at the top of the chat frame. It does that so as not to waste screen space. If the chat edit box is going to be placed at the bottom of the chat frame then it either has to overlap the most recent text in the chat frame or it has to go under that chat frame. If it goes under the chat frame, the chat frame has to be shortened by two lines creating empty space that is almost never used.

Placing the chat edit box at the top of the chat frame means it is always overlapping the oldest chat text and, therefore, rarely overlaps anything of importance.

You have the problem you have because you're changing the behavior of nUI... I presume you're using either Prat or Chatter to put the edit box at the bottom, yes?

The only way you're going to get around this problem is to edit the layout file. You'll have to edit it and make the chat frame shorter to make room for the chat edit box. Look in [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Layouts > Default > nUI_Layout_Default_Dashboard.lua ]
