    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.

    I 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.

    It can be moved or re-sized with a controller. It's just a bit awkward because you have to make the controller act like a mouse.
    • Press L1 + R3 together to start "mouse mode". (Don't be on the chat box or any other window that assigns a special meaning to L1 when you do this, or it won't work.)
    • While in mouse mode, the right analog stick moves the mouse cursor and L2 / R2 act as left and right mouse buttons.
    • 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.)
    The extra complexity of switching to mouse mode means that controller users aren't going to have the problem that the OP does of moving it accidentally. The lock window option she's requesting is only needed for keyboard/mouse players who might accidentally drag when they meant to just click.
