It's been happening to me a lot more recently than ever.

My chat log completely vanishes when I attempt to scroll through say, tells, party, linkshell, etc... Typically I remedy it by logging out into title screen and logging back in. But I can't keep doing that between voidwatch pops. plus I need to scroll back and forth to view what procs I need.

Any tips or advice?

I've had that problem before, only fix I've seen is to restart ffxi/pol :<

It's something to do with windower. It happens occasionally, kinda just gotta deal with it or restart.

The problem itself has nothing to do with Windower.

It does of course happen if you multibox with Windower, but it's not limited to this. It used to happen to me at the end of a Dynamis back in the days, when my logs would be completely full. I had a very old PC that would really suffer through the Dynamis, though.

It must be linked to your memory somehow, since I upgraded to more powerful laptops/computers it has never happened again. The only times it happen is when I multibox.

Also, I noticed that opening the logs and navigating from windows to windows or scrolling was making it disappear on the spot (or making my client crash, but that's only in a Windower context).

Not familiar with XI-Util > Sandboxing. But Cerberus.Senkyuutai might be right, my comp is rather old. No dual boxing here, just low memory on it. :/
