Seridin Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Links in chat are either unclickable or when I can click them once in a while the item appears almost offscreen, so I have to grab the edge and drag it up, but most times links just don't work at all. Anyone know a work around or a setting to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oeconomicus Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Weblinks (http/https) afaik never worked in SWTOR-Chat. Only Quest or Chievo-Links. Not Bug here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demotivator Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It has been broken for months. Doesn't seem to be of any concern to BW. Anyone know a work around or a setting to fix this? Resetting the UI (Ctrl+U+U) fixes it... momentarily. I can click one link and then it breaks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlaVii Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The tooltips are opening but they are doing it below the chat window which probably means off screen if you have chat at the bottom. Try moving chat up a little bit and you'll see the top of the tooltip which you can then drag to somewhere you can read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best workaround is to ctrl u u anytime it fails to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanderSnB Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 turn on chat click-trough in preferences, apply, then turn it off again and apply. FIxed it for me. edit: nope, got broken minute later again. WHat a game, what a company For me the link pop-up can randomly appear off screen. I don't know why this happens, but I keep hitting Escape key until the Options menu appears. The priority for Escape key is: Windows - character sheet, abilities, etc. Pop-ups - item and achievement links Options menu Because the Options menu is the lowest priority, once I see that menu, I know the link pop-up has also been closed (without being able to see it). Then links will work again until the bug happens. It doesn't happen often for me. Pretty random, maybe a few times a week. Like someone posted above, it's possible to force it to happen by putting chat window at bottom of the screen. Then link pop-ups will usually be off screen all the time because the pop-ups always appear at bottom right of chat window. (it's coded pretty "dumb", not robustly.) So anyways, the next time this happens, try hitting Escape a few times. It might work and save you some time not having to Ctrl+U or relog.

Years ago I set my UI similar to how I had my WoW UI set up so my brain didn't have to learn a new layout. Any link I click in swtor gen chat frequently pops up off the screen below and to the right of chat, which is bottom left on my UI. Sometimes I can drag the link box up because I generally know where it is off screen but this doesn't always work. I shall try your "escape" plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
