Chatframe lua error

[HuntersRock]

I am using the 5.0.7.12 NUI release and started getting the following LUA error:

Message: Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3779: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

Has anyone else had this error?

This is not an error I am familiar with.

If you could, can you try disabling all mods except nUI itself (including disabling the nUI plugins you might have installed) and see if the problem goes away.

Sounds good, I will try it when I get home tonight.

Addons can use Blizzard's templates to create their own chat frames or what not, problem then is that if they error it appears as if it's Blizzard that is at fault -but in fact it's their use of the template that was not bulletproof in all situations.
Other explanation is that some API was changed by pre-hooking insecure chat functions thus creating problems. (Especially if a patch changes a function and the old addon hooks it like the old behavior, this can also results in a lot of errors.)

In any case try as above poster said about disabling.

I disabled all the other addons and the problem disappeared, however once I reenabled Carbonite it started to occur again. It appears that Carbonite is the culprit.

Is it possible that it is a conflict between nui and carbonite. I did load the nui carbonite addon.

[Xrystal]

Its always possible to have a conflict. Especially if more than one addon is playing with the chat frames.

1. Check if carbonite has options that you can turn off so that nUI can control the chat frames position etc.

2. Maybe someone that uses carbonite can confirm they have the same problem.

[Chmee]

The only thing Carbonite does with chat is to create a couple of new channels for data transmission to other Carbonite users. Personally, I've never seen that cause this kind of problem. You can turn this channel creation off, somewhere in the Carbonite options.

Hi

This problem is coming from the last patch.
