That totally screwed me up. Is there a new way for it or is it just impossible now? I used that window to watch out for drops, mainly in TT. Quick small and effective 3 lines drop list now I have to look at the big window and read PMs and stupid stuff together with it. Bring it back please b:beatup

    Three guesses:

    1. New big box
    2. New big box
    3. ....New big box

    The scroll went to the -> (right) It was in the <- (left) When I hover over to the scroll on to the right, the bar disappears! Magically disappears! YAY!!!!!!

    Seriously this is ruining me...

    Lets see if i can diagram this.

    The Old General Chat window used to look like this; 
    |S|    =============    |
G|C|    ==== OLD ====    |
R|R|    === CHAT ====    |
I|O|    === AREA ====    |
P|L|    = (3 LINES) =    |
 |L|    =============    |

    But it now looks like this; 
    |##   =============   |S|
G|##   ==== OLD ====   |C|
R|##   === CHAT ====   |R|
I|##   === AREA ====   |O|
P|##   = (3 LINES) =   |L|
 |##   =============   |L|

    You can still scroll but it is a bit more tricky. As long as you have a mouse wheel. You 1st hover over the grip for a second or so for the full box to highlight (this makes the scroll bar on the side show, you use to have to do this anyway). However you cant move the mouse over to the scroll bar without the new one fading out. Instead, you move the mouse to the "##" area of my second diagram, which is precisely where the old scrollbar used to sit. The window wont fade (it seems to in some way believe the scroll bar is still on this left side). You can then use the mouse wheel to scroll the general chat window up & down, but only while hovering over the "##" area where the old scroll bar was placed.

    I finally just dragged it to the top-left over my character picture. Only place it was sort of out-of-the-way.
