One thing seriously bugs me about the way chat works now:  when a new chat window spawns, it pops up very near the top of the screen, which, since I keep my start menu bar at the top, puts the only part of the window I can click & drag to move the window almost completely under the start bar.  This of course makes it very difficult to relocate the chat to where I'd like it to be.  If it could just be set up so that it started out farther from the edge of the screen, that'd be very helpful.
Mountain bikes are for slow people, and geckos are far better pets than cats & dogs!  :D

The chat is so bad I just had to quit.  I do not think it could be any worse.  Its not intuitive, I could not figure out how to reopen the chat I had going with a  friend.   After clicking, alt tabing, and clicking some more, I did find the chat.  Then it started all over again because I could not remember what to do.  I started up a casual game, why is there not a built in chat window?  For me to see chat I really have to block half of the playing field?   I am hoping this can be changed in options, but why is it not the default?

Yeah, I don't know why the game chat is no longer dockable.

Has nobody suggested the idea of a way to group buddies? I want the Bots labeled as such.

I just tried and found out that the /goto command is now unsupported in the sneak peek client. I used it all the time and am saddened by this

All of the slash commands are currently unsupported. The biggest problem is probably with multiplayer and eject.

The game chat is dockable, but only if the duel window is full screen.

That just makes it more perplexing.
