[fixed] Little bug in chat since last update (can't type anymore).

Hello,

I'm permit myself to submit a little bug that french users seems to get since last update. because I don't have it myself (because i'm using an addon which rewrite a lot the chatbox), I tried to reproduce it without any addons .. this bug get's its topic on Officials forums, but I didn't found any complaints in other languages, it's maybe not french related bug !


So :

First It should have been pulled in code after 2.0.8. But I don't know which patch precisly.
Folks complains for this problems since few weeks. If you got an idea.

The bug is pretty simple :
  • You can't type in chat entry box anymore.
  • Hit "enter" does nothing.
  • Clicking on entry box does nothing
  • You can use the "/" but it will be the only string inserted in the entry box. you won't have focus to type.
  • And you'll be blocked in cursormode. (so you can't move camera).


With an old addon (ChatMultiWindow) I can reproduce the bug with a 99% chance) by just enabling it.
After looking at this old addon code, it's this code which bug the thing :

Lua Code:
  1. ZO_ChatWindowTextEntryEditBox:SetHandler("OnFocusLost",     ChatMultiWindow.OnFocusLost)
  2.  
  3. function ChatMultiWindow.OnFocusLost(self)
  4.     for i=GetNumChatContainers(), 2, -1  do
  5.         CHAT_SYSTEM.containers[i].fadeAnim.m_fadeTimeline:PlayForward()
  6.         for j=1, #CHAT_SYSTEM.containers[i].windows do
  7.             CHAT_SYSTEM.containers[i].windows[j].buffer:SetLineFade(25, 2)
  8.         end
  9.     end
  10. end



I greatly think it's related so, If ZOS want have a look, just do without any addon in any language :


- /reloadui
- Hit "enter" to go in cursor mode
- click on the Say label next to entry box to get the switch list
- choose /tell
- You're bugged

To unbug, you can simply choose another switch.
But for people who related me this problem, only a reloadui can help. And they can't say how they triggerred it.

Also with the old addon listed above, the switch don't help a lot, bug come back very quickly.
Because this bug just looks like a lot that ours, I think if you can fix this one, the other one will be fixed.


Thank you!
