Chat bubbles sticking on edges

[YouToo]

Hey everyone! New member here.
I would like to ask for your help with something if it's possible.

You know how the nameplates were sticking to the edges of the screen by default in 7.0.3? Well today I did a few runs on Garrosh for the tusk shoulder mog, and I noticed during his talk with Thrall that their chat bubbles were sticking to the edges of the screen in the same way. I'm pretty sure they didn't do that before 7.0.3.

So the fix for nameplates was as follows:
/script SetCVar ("nameplateOtherTopInset", -1)
/script SetCVar ("nameplateOtherBottomInset", -1)

I've tried searching for any CVar like chatbubblesOtherTopInset or similar but found nothing. So what I'm asking is if it's possible through a CVar or a custom addon script to make them behave like before?
Thanks in advance!

The chat bubbles indeed seem to clamp (to the top of the screen)

• I too couldn't find any cvar like chatBubblesTopInset

• Did a test with Prat (Prat-3.0\modules\Bubbles.lua) and calling Frame:SetClampRectInsets() didn't change the clamp behavior
  If that has anything to do with frame / chat bubbles clamping

Maybe there is no solution then

Thanks a lot for trying at least! Yes, they seem to clamp to the top but if you move the camera to the side while it's clamped to the top, the chat bubble kinda bounces off the sides too.
It's just strange how Blizzard seems to keep locking more and more of these things from customization. I wouldn't call this one a major problem but we should still be able to choose. Same with the nameplates and everything.

If you want to disable clamping, use :SetClampedToScreen(false) instead of :SetClampRectInsets(...).

That was also confusing me, since :IsClampedToScreen already returns false for chat bubbles

Chat bubble frames would still move off the screen if you move far enough away, which is a bit different from the expected behavior for normal clamped frames
