i know this is a standalone addon but i seen it has been updated by the Ace3-team

Anyway i have seen on beta that the frame is Parenting wrong and always shows on the UI until you open the frame its part of (in my case Config).

I Found a fix for it after after many hours. am not sure if am going the right away about doing it so i wonted to make sure. and not just update the code and break it for everyone else.

prototypes.lua

function AGSMW:GetBaseFrame()
		local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
		frame:SetHeight(44)
		frame:SetWidth(200)
		frame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER")

seems to be where the problem is coming from the fix i found that works is adding the line at the bottom.

frame:ClearAllPoints()

am really sorry if i posted it in the wrong place.

Quote from Nevcairiel

A better option would be to remove the SetPoint right there instead of clearing the points later. And I commited a change to do just that just now.

I do wonder though, this problem seems to only occur if you create the widget but then don't do anything with it. Even if I just create it and then add it to a hidden and otherwise untouched container, it never shows up, because the container takes over its handling.

So this means that any addon using it through AceConfigDialog didn't seem to ever trip into this problem. Not that I've noticed either way.

ah yes i did try that as well, i did not know if it was needed or not.

Like i said my addon been fine for years using it this way but since running it in beta somehow it is now a problem.

thanks for the fix it is a great help
