When starting to type in my game now suddenly the chat box grows huge.
So i’m not sure what is going on, recent things I did to the game was change some GUI images. Like I have not altered anything to do with the chat so I’m pretty confused as to why this is happening? Anyone know any general causes to this? Or maybe just something that will fix it? Like an override or something I can do to keep the box always sized correctly?
If you’ve forked chat, now is the time to update it. I see this issue happening to people with forked chat pretty often.
This bug has already been somewhat reported although it was posted in #bulletin-board and wasn’t moved. Link to post:
Bug Report: Chat covering half of the screen in some games
You’ll need to update your fork of the chat scripts to the latest version due to a bug in old versions. If you’ve made changes and can’t re-apply them easily, you can update just the ChatBar script. If you’ve also edited the ChatBar script, you can also apply the fix manually.
This is a diff file that you can apply to ChatBar.lua to apply the specific fix for this bug, if you have tools available for it.

That’s an unrelated issue.
Sorry, how would I go about updating my fork? Not a bug i’ve encountered before so not something I’m familiar with.
What line do I replace this to?
Doesn’t seem like an Entire script to me.
If you have no need to fork the chat scripts anymore, you can just delete them from ChatService, which will cause the latest version to be used. Otherwise, you can play solo in an empty baseplate to get a copy of the latest version, and then integrate code from that into your own.
I figured it out my bad, had a bit of a brain fart. Thank you for the help
Just noticed this bug, but when I open an empty baseplate, I can’t chat
Pressing / does nothing
Also a known issue which is being fixed:
