Persistent UI glitch

When last I posted about this problem, it was something I'd just run into, and I don't think I could even get anybody to understand the problem, or if they did, nobody but me was having it.

It cropped up a few issues ago, around the time they made some minor improvements to things in the UI. (I can't remember what the changes were, but they were definitely related to this issue.) Anyway, the problem:

If I have my chat window split into two sections vertically, chat continues on down past the bottom of the window (is no longer visible), rather than causing text to scroll off the top. I'm perpetually forced to jog the slider to see what's being said.

And, no, if I drag the scrollbar to the bottom, it does not stay that way. Sometimes it stays there a little while, but it's liek something's jogging the scrollbar a fraction off the bottom of its range. (Unusual things I do include scale the windows to 85%, use a quake-like (fvas) move key mapping, have my right mouse button mapped to *toggle* mouse look rather than on-demand mouse look, select mobs with the cursor rather than by tabbing (I like surgical controlling), and always fire powers from the keyboard-top numeric keys with alt and ctrl.)

Anybody got any guesses as to what my problem is with the window refusing to scroll? (One problem at a time, thanks. ^_^)

Where on-screen do you put your chat window?

It could be that you mouse's scroll wheel is a bit too sensity/misaligned, and generating the scroll-up event occasionally, causing the chat window to scroll just a bit above the bottom, which'd stop it from following the conversation.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

My chat window scroll bars have been doing that for quite a while. This quirk doesn't really bother me though.

I'm pretty sure it's directly related to just resizing the chat window; I get this a lot on characters with larger chat windows. I've gotten decent results shrinking the window back to near-default size, which seems to fix it at the cost of fewer lines displayed.

[/ QUOTE ] I've always played with non-default window scaling... both above, and below. I've never had this issue.

I have never adjusted the font size though, which I had heard can cause issues with seeing text in the chat box.

Thanks for all the advice guys! If I get around to testing any of the theories here and come up with anything reproducible, I'll post about it.
