privmsgs dont open new tabs
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:27:01 EST
despite having 'open dialogs in tabs' set in my preferences, when someone /msg's me, it doesn't open a new tab, but appears in a random existing tab like so.. *usersnick* hey davej If I initiate a /dialog with someone though, their responses do go to that tab, so it's just the creation of a new tab that's failing. xchat-2.6.0-4
2.6.0-5 still borken. Ugh. I went digging through my xchat.conf, and found this.. gui_auto_open_dialog = 0 Flipping it to a '1' fixes this problem. The only problem being - I don't see any way to set that setting in the GUI, and upgrading from an earlier release silently changed this to '0' for me. I notice we're a few versions behind upstream, maybe this is fixed there already? I'm puzzled as to why more people haven't been affected by this problem. I guess not everyone keeps their ~/.xchat dirs around when they upgrade to a new release.
I stopped using xchat sometime earlier this year, so this may have been fixed for all I know. Either way, I don't really care, so close this out if you want.
At least in 2.8.4, gui_auto_open_dialog defaults to 1. It is also set to 1 in my config file which got originally created in 2004 (and I didn't touch this setting manually).
