I recently got a commission where I ironed out a few bugs. I was able to get most of them, but this one I just couldn’t place.
When one joins the game and the chat opens, the channel tabs are just… gone. The issue used to occur only on mobile, but now it happens on desktop as well. Here’s a screenshot:
There should be the channel tabs “All” and “System”. There’s no errors in the Output or anything, but I think the bug is coming from this part of this module (I didn’t make it):

Here’s what runs it (client-side):
if not game:IsLoaded() then
game.Loaded:Wait()
end
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local SettingsModule = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("ChatSettings"))
--// Normal Chat \\--
Chat:RegisterChatCallback(Enum.ChatCallbackType.OnCreatingChatWindow, function()
task.wait(1) -- I added this but it didn't seem to do anything. (Ty_Scripts)
return SettingsModule.WindowChatSettings
end)
Anyone have any idea what’s going on here? There’s potentially other scripts causing this, I can show them on request.
