    It's extremely frustrating when playing to have any of the following occur:

    a) chat box gets dragged/resized all over during active combat because of mouse drift and the fact you can't lock the thing down. Also can happen to other UI elements such as the compass bar across the top, etc. Can also happen with the location of the combat bar itself if you're unfortunate enough.

    b) You accidentally pull a *locked* glyph off your combat bar during battle. Locked should mean locked, period. The Utility bar has the same problem, but as there is no UI for changing it like there is for the combat bar, it's not clear to me how one resolves the problem there.

    oh yeah have this happen a lot with open chat and/or compass suddenly moving around my screen mid combat, so the fade seems to go to the left and up for my playstyle...

    Yeah, I too would love a hard lock option on the windows and locked glyphs. Even something like a tiny lock icon we could click and lock and unlocked them would be really nice.

    Sometimes in a hectic battle I’ll suddenly mis click and start screwing up the view, and then suddenly the chat window is right in the middle of battle.

    Hmm perhaps locked unless action is glyph replacement, aka another glyph on the pointer. That way mis-clicks/drags are mitigated, also a clicky lock on each ui element. Solved.

    Can you guys also please remove middle-button scroll from the chat window? This is a problem for me when I'm using the middle button to move when I'm too lazy to put my left hand on the keyboard. At least it's not getting stuck in scroll mode lately.

    Does anyone actually use middle-button scroll in the chat window?
