Yes, my sounds at default and if I receive a /tell then there is a sound for that. That's not our issue, though. The issue is the chat box scrolling by itself. I don't really need a notification, I was just saying that instead of scrolling the chat box back, it should simply notify you that you've received a new message by either lighting up the tab, adding an icon to the tab.
And nope, I can full-screen chat if I want, that's not the issue either. I'm quite minimal when it comes to game UIs, and I'd rather not sacrifice 20% of my screen real estate to a chat box for the occasional scroll-back. I just want the thing to stay where it is, when I scroll back. The same behavior as:
- Any other text chat box in any game I can think of (notify of incoming message, not auto-scroll)
- Any messaging program (notifies you, obviously - when you're on your phone and get a text, it doesn't automatically switch focus to the messaging app and show you the text)
- A website (will not move your scroll position from where you've chosen, for any reason at all)
- A book (no one changes pages on me while I am reading)
- Literally anything else in life (my chosen text tends to stay where I put it, anywhere).
NOTE: My personal problem with this is solved, via "methods". I only jumped in on this to back up OP when people questioned that the issue even exists.
Discord chat bridge, for one. Handles all your chat in Discord; no more need to worry about auto-scrolling chat boxes.
