Hey guys, is it common for the multi chat tab feature to not work? I have never been able to have multiple tabs open for different chats etc. Has anyone experienced this?

- Tried different release branches
- Tried changing keybindings etc
- Tried disabling extensions
- Tried both the hotkey approach and alt click plus button

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, it seems like your activity panel is hidden, which is why you can’t see the new tabs. Enable its display, and the chat tabs will become visible again.
