Chat tabs are disappearing

I don't use prat or anything other than recount and omen with Nui and im using ur current release version. And everytime i relog it continues to delete all of my chat tabs exluding general chat. Is there a fix for this out or coming?

Ok, now i found the little tab to switch, but how do i edit them now? i like to just be able to click them, is that an option i can turn on or off?

Guys, Scott is actually out on site working so he himself has limited time to test and figure out these problems. If they are resolvable with a fix they will get done but maybe not before he gets back from his time away.

Have you both tried rolling back to the previous version of nUI in the mean time or was that badly broken for you too ? If that worked fine carry on using the old one until the problem can be resolved.

I'll try and spend some time looking into what may have changed in nUI to cause this to happen as I am getting this problem myself. It's annoying for me but not a game killer.

If you need to keep the latest version of nUI just remember to reloadui whenever you log in until it can be resolved.

Okay, I think I know the cause of the disappearing tabs bug:

Line 133 or thereabouts of ChatFrame.lua in nUI's Integration folder has the following line:
for i=1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS * 2 do

I simply changed that back to what it was before
for i=1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do

And the tabs came back.

Scott, I assume that was to get the BattleNet conversations working which are NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS+x window numbers but I believe blizz does something special with them that messes non conversation windows up or so it seems.

I was having the same problem. I changed the code at line 133 as noted in Xrystal's post, but that didn't fix it for me.

Ah, then as I thought possibly something else is causing problems. I don't use RealID myself so that may be a factor in finding a solution.

I found another occurrence at line 416. I changed it there too, but still no change.
