Bug with the [new?] Chat tool

This [new to me] Chat tool. when opened. and moved to the 2nd screen.
It immediately, disappear [close perhaps] and it won’t open again!

also i had a crash shortly after the Chat box closed, no idea if it is related [was doing other things when the actual crash happened [sent the crash report]

thanks a lot

what is that?! what is Rhino becoming now? holy f*** moly seriously… half of rhino is still acting up since v8 and still not working as it should then i see something like that… i am not impressed.

What is this? Chat with whom?

The deep red, very visible icon seems like a little much to me. It sticks out like a sore thumb, and for what, a niche feature.

it seems it’s not a Chat with Support [what was expected …]. but just a way to email support

Yes it would be nice it would be removed it from the toolbar [and only kept in the Help manu as it always has]
Also the tool tip Say Chat, But it’s only an email form… [maybe Chat is coming in the future?]

Hi @Akash,

Thanks for reporting the Mac mult-monitor issue. I’ll log an issue.

You can toggle the display of the Chat window on an off by right-clicking on the toolbar button, or by running _-Chat.

Also, its unlikely this feature crashed Rhino. But you can repeat, let us know.

If nobody is around to chat, you will see this…

Ed: looks like the crash occured in a plug-in named RadialMenuPlugin.

thanks a lot @dale
I feel it will be good to add some message to the Email form, Like: “nobody is around to chat” to let us users know.

Yes. I mentioned it because i thought perhaps Rhino become unstable when the Chat drowned in the 2nd screen.

RH-85643 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 16 Release Candidate

I thought i could order pizza with that

Man WIP9 has some nice stuff
