This morning, for the first time, I noticed that the part of the chat window where you type is missing and only appears when you click the chat bubble and then type /1 or /p or whatever channel you want to chat in. As soon as you type your message and hit Return, the place where you chat disappears again. It used to stay there so you don’t have to click the chat bubble and type in the channel each time.
Sounds like an addon. That said, you can just hit Enter then start typing.
Thank you. I disabled all addons and reloaded UI. Still didn’t fix it. But at least I know that Return is an easier way to do it than clicking the chat bubble. Thanks.
Did you maybe drag your chat window so the edit box is out of frame?
I can drag the Combat tab away, but the main General chat tab and the window itself, I can’t move. I would like to move it. Can you advise how?
Right click the General tab > Unlock
OK I’ll try that. Thanks. Right after the servers come back 
I was able to unlock the chat window but can’t move it. I can re-size it. I tried resetting default and that added a voice tab that I can’t get rid of now. LOL, I better leave it alone.
Are you running ElvUI? If so you need to move it via their anchors.
No UI addon. Thanks, you’ve been great trying to help, but I can’t seem to fix it.
Where are you trying to move it? Left or down from the default position are not an option with the stock UI.
The voice tab appears to be a result of the new TTS being added.
I was trying to move it anywhere at the suggestion of Elvenbane to see if the part of the chat window where you type would appear. I notice that the chat window is there, but the place where you type is missing until you hit “Return.” I can’t get it to stay fixed in place.
That’s the default behaviour for the edit box. You could try something like:
/run ChatFrame1EditBox:HookScript("OnHide", function(self) self:Show() end) ChatFrame1EditBox:Show()
If it’s what you are looking for, you could copy/paste everything but the /run part into the website addon.bool.no to create and download it as a small addon so you don’t have to run the script every time you log a character in.
