Yes, in the options there is an option to reset the UI. It's in the first tab of the options panel I believe. Found it last night by mistake.

Or create a wholly new character, go into AP type /chat_save logout again and log into the character who is borked and type /chat_load. Best thing about this method is that it only resets the chat settings and not anything else.

If not try that first, I know it works for me, and as I was told to do it this way to reset chat in the past (mine died shortly after i12) it should work.

  1. Go into the City of Heroes root, thats where the CohUpdater.EU.exe file is found.
  2. Check that there isn't a file called chat.txt, if there is delete it.
  3. Start the game and create a new character.
  4. Once the game is fully loaded type /chat_save in the box you type chat into and press enter.
  5. Return to the main login screen.
  6. Log in to the character that has broken chat tabs.
  7. Now once again in the chat entry box type /chat_load and press enter.
  8. While it should work immediately it might be a good idea to log out and back in with that character just to make sure the changes stick.
  9. You can now delete the temporary character you made.
