Try getting it nice and big and see if you can fix it:
/windowscale chat 1.6
(expands it to 160% size)

Did you try clicking on that little arrow on the right side of the chat header bar:
"...1 2 3 4 <arrow>"

I tried using /wdwsave on another character without this problem, then /wdwload on this character, no help. I tried closing the chat window and reopening it, no help. Anyone have any ideas? |
Drag the bottom boundary down to grow the entire box - as you say this doesn't change the size of the lower pane. Next drag the seperator bar back up - this should grow the lower pane at the expense of the upper one.

OK, tried rescaling the window larger both to see if it would fix it and to make sure I could "grab" the edge if that was possible. Making it larger did not fix it, and the only part of the edge grabbable on the lower pane was the lower and outer edges. Dragging the lower edge down just made the top pane larger, and dragging it sideways made it larger and smaller horizontally. I never got a grab indicator to let me drag the pane separator up.
The only arrow I saw was the one in the upper right corner to drop the upper pane back down and just have a chat line, with no tabs. Tried that, tried expanding the single Chat pane which remained, but no luck. Clicking the arrow again brought the upper pane back up but I was just back where I started. Similarly, reshrinking the chat window to 1.0 didn't fix it, nor did trying reloading via /wdwload after doing all of this.
Go the the Launcher and select Repair Files then a reboot.
See if the problem persists in Safe Mode, too.

Right click on the tab and say "Move to top" then r-click on it again and select "move to bottom."
Fixed!

Tried that on the Chat tab, and after moving it back to the bottom had to drag it back across to the left side, but that fixed it. Thanks much Sooner!
