175 - Power Auras blocking raid marker usage
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Be in a raid, promoted, with Power Auras active
2. Use the raid frame pullout to try and place a raid marker (flare/new thingy)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: targeting reticule for raid marker
Instead: Popup with "PowerAuras has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI."
What version of the product are you using?
4.9
Do you have an error log of what happened?
no
Please provide any additional information below.
First noticed in 4.0.3a, but can't confirm that it wasn't happening in the prior patch. Thanks!

PS i always like your comments Dr, always so informative :)

Dridzt Feb 16, 2011 at 12:35 UTC - 0 likesThis is another situation of the age-old dropdown code taint that's been affecting the Set Focus menu for ages.
The dropdown used in the world markers is equally susceptible to taint.
What this means is that any addon using dropdowns (and that's 99% of addons with a visible UI) will get blamed for breaking world markers occasionally.
I've had Mapster, Recount, Ace3, Power Auras and the list goes on.
There is not much addon authors can do about this apart from not using dropdowns in their addons and that's not a reasonable expectation.
Until Blizzard makes dropdown code less prone to randomly spreading taint your only option is /reload.

rhorle Feb 15, 2011 at 23:57 UTC - 0 likesI get this error when using /click CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton while in a party. The only addon I had on was power auras. It only happens when in a party from what I can tell. I'm not sure now if I was the leader or not since I just tried it out in a lfd group.
Edit: Forgot I had bug grabber enabled as well, but not bugsack at the time. So after getting bugsack here is the error code provide by it:
1x <event>ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED:AddOn 'PowerAuras' tried to call the protected function 'PlaceRaidMarker()'. <in C code>: in function `PlaceRaidMarker' ...mpactRaidFrames\Blizzard_CompactRaidFrameManager.lua:112: in function `func': Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:636: in function `UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick': <string>:"*:OnClick":1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Using a macro like this:
/click CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton /click DropDownList1Button1
will show a message saying 'Power auras is conflicting with the interface action blablabla, do you want to disable or ignore'
