11 - Error frame creates a mouse dead zone
Starting in a recent version of SF, the addon is creating an invisible frame near the top middle of my screen (near the UIErrorsFrame) that creates an invisible unclickable region on my screen. Attempting to click on targets or other WorldFrame items thru this invisible frame has no effect, which is extremely annoying, especially when using the mouse to reposition the camera. I'm guessing this is SF's custom error output frame, but it's not configured properly to allow mouse click-thru, and it doesn't go away when I turn off that option. Disabling the addon takes it away.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load recent version of shaman friend
2. Do a /framestack
3. Mouse around near the top middle of the screen and you will find the offending frame
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
What version of the product are you using?
2.32
What language (localization/region) are you running?
enUS

I do not really understand why the behavior you are describing was happening before, the only thing I can think of is that you were getting some sort of conflict with the unnamed frames and naming them solved the issue, although unnamed frames should not have conflicts so that shouldn't have been an issue.

PS Previously I couldn't even see the drag handle when the custom frame was enabled and unlocked, but now it shows up if I enable that.

The Earth Shield frame was not able to be clicked through as tooltips on highlighting is one of the options for it and that does not allow clicking through. I just uploaded a new version of Shaman Friend (r40) that allows the Earth Shield frame to be clicked through unless tooltips are enabled or it is unlocked.
What does /framestack show as the name of the offending frame when you highlight it?
If you unlock the custom frame so that you can see it if it is not already so, is it in the location that is causing problems? Is the Earth Shield frame in that location and hidden? If the issue is the Earth Shield frame does Shaman Friend r40 address the issue for you?
