I am constantly accidentally pulling tabs off or nudging my chat window around when changing tabs. Is there a way to lock it's position in place? If not, can you please add it, because it's desperately needed!
Is there a way to lock the chat window?

So, I'm guessing that there is no way to lock the chat window. Again last night I accidentally dragged my chat window across the screen when trying to change from one tab back to the General (first tab). Please give us an option to lock the location! The rest of the UI doesn't suffer from this!

there is no way to lock it though for me. it is not the chat window that i drag across the screen. it is the loot window i decide to drag across the screen. i place my chat box to the bottom left corner for me. loot window it a small gap above the chat window. i drag the loot window more than any window in the UI. so i would like a lock icon for the windows that are out of the HUD set up. since we have to go into the HUD display to move them around.

What are you playing on?
On the PS4, I don't think the chat box can be moved or changed in size. At least not that I am aware and I have somewhat try to look into it as I wanted to make it smaller, but don't seem to be able to.to so. It's the only window that cannot be edited.
It can be hidden as far as I know. In the chat box, press right once and the square original button. -

It can actually be resized, although its very difficult to do with the controller. I've never managed it.
If you can connect a mouse if only temporary its very easy to resize the chat box. Just click and drag the top right corner of the box, your mouse pointer changes when you have the right spot.
It works the same as on pc. -
12-11-2015, 01:39 AMMaeIsMeanI play on a PC. It is really really annoying to have my chat window move when I change tabs. The other day, it moved halfway across my screen because I had a small video pause when I clicked the tab.Quote:

- Drag (hold L2 while moving right analog) the top right corner of the chat window to resize it.
- Drag the tabs at the bottom of the window to move them. (Dragging the first "General" tab moves the whole window. I'm not sure if dragging a different tab also moves the window or separates it out to form an additional chat window.)
- When finished, press L1 + R3 together to turn mouse mode back off. (De-select the window first if needed. You again can't be on anything that reassigns L1.)
