Hi,
before I start listing the defects, let me be clear about something; It ain't browser (or their versions), or system specific. Tried under firefox, safari and chrome - on windows, linux and macOs. And versions... Don't get me even started listing versions...
Grouping the chats if won't fit the viewport
![](https://board.origin.ogame.gameforge.com/index.php/Attachment/1630-Screenshot-2019-06-10-at-21-14-19-png/?thumbnail=1&s=d47a6039ef8abb256e76d7980c16d4cf40928fdc)
See attached screenshot. This basically happens ANYTIME you try to close (and remove) any chat when you got one or more chats open. This cool "Group chats in a menu when chats doesn't fit the viewport" - I'm working fullHD (sometimes 2560x1440) and this opens even when just two chats are active.
This also happens when you move your mouse up to see the top bar menu of the macOs (sometimes). It resizes the viewport and thus it fires the dropdown menu.
After opening the chat toggled in the dropdown menu, the conversation is not shown fully (just some starting part), with no way to scroll down, and when you send a new message there, it won't appear (it's sent tho)
Closing the chats
Close any chat, empty menu appears. No way how to get rid of it except the page refresh. Try to close 6 chat windows - it requires 6 page reloads. Annoying? Well, it's not the worst one yet.

Sending a message with a cursor in the middle of the text
Given you are sending your friend a message that says "Hey, how are ya?". If you (before sending it) set the cursor in the middle of the word "ya", so if you click right after the "y" and then press enter, the text will be split with a newline right where the pointer was. This happens in the floating (position: fixed) chats - not in the one at page=chat. See attached screenshots. From what I've noticed, this happens before sending to the server - so on frontend (I was too lazy to check the network tab)

Toggling a chat at page=chat in a specific chat
I think this is self-explanatory. See what happens:

Closing a recently opened chat
See how shrinked it is? So basically open a chat, then try to close it right after. Not that it won't get closed - it somehow shrinks and it stays after the page is reloaded.

There was another issue I can't reproduce now - On a specific page, sending message leaded to an error that the message couldn't be sent. I will send an update right after I figure it out. Just please - in any case - RESTORE the message if it fails to be sent, so the people can at least copy & paste its content, reload the page, and send it again.
I can't help myself, so I will have to ask you one question - Really? Did anyone ever tested that feature before it went to production?
Thanks and cheers.
