72 - Group Calendar causing taint when placing raid markers.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Be a raid leader in a raid.
2. Attempt to place a raid marker.
3. Get a taint error

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to place a raid marker, instead I get a taint error about GroupCalendar.

What version of the product are you using?

v5.4

Do you have an error log of what happened?

Here is the taint log:

It's Blizzard's menu system that causes this problem. When Blizzard allocates more menu item elements they end up tainting them with whatever addon first requested the extra menu items. Then they blame that addon later when one of those menu items is used for a protected function such as placing markers, or setting focus, or whatever.

The real solution is for Blizzard to fix their code, but this has been so long that I doubt it'll happen. Eventually I'll modify my addons to use custom menu code instead of using the standard Blizzard stuff, but as people have seen the problem pervades a large number of addons so it probably won't matter much even if I do.

As far as I know this is a Blizzard error. Placing a raid marker on the ground gets a taint from numerous addons. It seems to want to blame whichever one it finds first. Reloading UI seems to remove it. Also, if I open and close my alchemy window (I use no tradeskill addons) I can place markers without issue after.

Been getting this issue too. To be fair now that I'm using a packaged UI the error is masked by the UI causing the same taint. But if I disable the UI GroupCalendar causes one instead.
