I had trouble with the UI a month ago, finally found a work around by finding and saving a backup of the eq2_keymap file. which I found I needed to copy and paste every time after I loaded the game. a plus with this was that I found a way to remove F9 programing.
I set my F keys to spells, not default programming.
However, after todays download of 3.2, and having no chat window, not being able to answer the many 'tells' I got. I had to remove profit and go back to standard UI. really gunna miss that UI too !
I could NOT get it to work. somehow that required deliberate chat window mod, has really messed me up.
