Chat POPOUT text input panel missing

This is new. It has never done this before. When I popout the chat menu the text input box is missing.

Behavior is consistent on Chrome and FF

I've disabled everything I can think of and it is not fixing the issue.

I am also having this issue. Confirmed across multiple browsers and multiple machines, and checked with a couple other people who confirm they're seeing this issue too.

Have you tried widening the window?  It looks like yours is very narrow.  

Hi - Thanks for the confirmation

DM Eddie. Good idea but I though of that and it does nothing.

I too am losing the popped out chat text entry in both Chrome and Edge.

Me too - not able to Chat in the pop out chat

same thing here

This started for me after the last hotfix went out.  Still no typing area in the chat pop out.

oh good, it's not just me :) 

A temporary fix is available here

Thanks, I ran across this suggestion earlier last week and it didn't work for me.

np, I only fixed this issue after coming across your thread :)

This was resolved in a release today.

Hi Kenton, it appears to be partially fixed.
If one completely closes the chat tab when it is popped out one cannot reload it without reloading the game (refreshing the browser). Confirmed on Chrome but I cannot replicate in FF.

That is a different issue, and has been around for years on Chrome. A workaround is to focus on the popped out window and reload, instead of close it. This will cause the popped out window to close, without disturbing the game. It can then be re-opened in the same session.

@Keithcurtis That is interesting. Basically, from what I gather, if I accidently close the Chat Popout in Chrome, I will most likely have to refresh the entire browser session. This is my first time with this bug. Never seen it and I've been closing the popout chat regularly for one reason or another these past few years. What wasn't an issue for me before, now is. Thanks for the heads up.
