Radio messages window - no pop up, TX by accident

Hi everyone,

today I flew on VATSIM for the first time since November and immediately noticed some changes. I have noticed there is now a new Radio Message window inside X-Plane. Althought very useful for typing, I am now missing the 'p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ive' old school box that would pop up on the upper part of my screen whenever someone texted on a frequency like this: https://imgur.com/a/jRu3H8w . The only time it would appear was when I was getting the low FPS warning message. Am I missing a setting somewhere or is now the only way to monitor Unicom to keep that big chatbox open at all times?

 

Also, what happened was that I pretyped a message in the box - something like "EDDB tfc, fully established ILS25R" - to send it later when I was actually established, only to realize after a couple of minutes that the message has already been sent without me ever hitting ENTER and the box wasn't even in focus since then. What's more, the same message would send itself again and again every couple of minutes with the textbox empty! I felt like an idiot but there was no way for me to notice as I had the chatbox closed. Any ideas why that might have happened?
