App keeps creating windows of individual chats and I can't figure out how to disable it. It's a relatively new behavior but it's making texting difficult.

On what device? Mac?
 
It could be your mouse/pointing device reporting a double-click rather than a single click, opening another window. You could try making it slower in settings to see if that helps, but it could also be the device reporting a double-click to MacOS. Sticky buttons or a low battery could cause some anomalies.

Ipad. No buttons. Also almost always on the charger.
 
Switch to decaf? ;) :D

Edit: :) Heh - but, seriously. Are you running the beta? And, just to make sure it's not the connection between the device in the chair - if you have someone else use the iPad, can they replicate the issue? If so, I'd be tempted to file a bug report.

As it is new behaviour, it could be an issue with that build of the OS.

Unfortunately, I don't have an iPad, so can't delve into where there could be settings to tweak.
