6.0.2.1699

WoW version and region/language:

6.0.2 EU enGB

Character race, class, spec, and level:

Any.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. Be grouped with one or more other players.
  2. Have someone else in the group die and then release spirit resulting in them becoming a ghost.

What you expected to happen:

Text indicator to display 'Ghost'.

What actually happened:

Text indicator displayed 'DEAD'.

Does the problem still happen when all other addons — including all Grid plugins — are disabled?

Yes.

Does the problem still happen after you switch to a new profile in Grid with default settings, log out, and log back in?

Exact text of the first related error message, if any:

No errors.

Anything else you think might be helpful:

As soon as you come within view distance of the unit in question it correctly updates the status to Ghost.

    This is probably a consequence of last year's change to ignore most statuses on units not in visible range, to avoid some lag people were experiencing in battlegrounds. I'll look into it sometime this week.

    Well I should probably clarify, I don't think only the text is broken, but all indicators show as if dead and not ghost.. I think.
