Chat TextBox too large

I am using a custom chat that supports custom name tags in game, but there’s an issue - the text input area in the chat box is way too big. Is there a place where I have to tweak it to properly resize it?

This has been reported several times before. The post above does solve your question, but please try using the search bar to see if someone’s already asked a question before, so you don’t create a duplicate post.

On another note, if you’re making a custom tags system and you’ve only edited the “ExtraDataInitializer” module, then there’s another solution.

  • Leave Chat.LoadDefaultChat as true
  • Clear all children of the ChatService except ChatModules
  • Leave the bool “InsertDefaultModules” in the folder
  • Delete every module except ExtraDataInitializer
  • Modify that module to suit your needs

From there, Roblox will automatically insert all dependencies required to operate the chat so your code is up to date, however an updated copy of ExtraDataInitializer will not be inserted and the chat system will instead use this leftover module instead. It’ll be up to you from there to update your ExtraDataInitializer module fork if anything new is added to the default version.
