I've been occasionally losing my first action bar. This has been happening over the last 6-9 months (with many different SVN releases of bartender3) and a reloadui won't fix it. I need to logout back to the character screen then relogin again.

The first action bar is set up on my healadin without any modifiers unlike my druid who uses this to modify the bars shown depending on the form that he is in.

I get this problem with both characters.

When I lose the first action bar the space it would be in on screen is simply blank. If I go into the bartender3 config, I can disable then re-enable the bar but I still can't see it.

I've been trying really hard to find a common event which precedes this loss of the 1st action bar but haven't to date. I can say that it generally seem to happen when I zone into an instance or change forms and usually only in instances rather than in the world at large.

I have this bar loss maybe once or twice a week.

I do run quite a few different addons (which I do actively keep up to date):

Is there anything which I can do to try to stop this or help track down why this is happening?

Thanks!

Apolgies if this has been addressed, I saw some posts with similar issues but none that addressed mine directly or that were resolved:

As a warlock I have my Action Bar 1, Key 1 assigned to a macro that runs my most common spell cycle:

/petattack
/cast [nomodifier] Immolate
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Amplify Curse
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Curse of Agony
/cast [modifier:shift] Corruption
/cast [modifier:alt] Drain Soul

This worked up until I installed Bongos2 (which I then disabled because I just didn't like how it did what it did) and bartender3 (which I like very much except for the following issue). Since then pressing and un-modified 1 will send my felguard and cast Immolate while he's on his way. Alt will cast Drain Soul, no problem. Ctrl+1 and Shift+1 do not fire their assigned spells, instead I have to hold the mod key and click the action bar button.

Is this a Bartender issue or a WOW UI setting that I'm missing somewhere? I've been through the interface options several times and have yet to find the silver bullet that restores my macro functions.

If it's a Bartender issue, is there a workaround? I've considered scrapping the macro(s) and moving the modded spells to other action bars and use the appropriate key bindings but that seems a kludgey way of doing things.

It's a keybinding issue. By default, ctrl-1 is bound to your first pet button - usually petattack. Shift-1 also has a default binding but I forget to what.

Do you mean a Bartender key binding issue? The only reason I ask is because as I said, before installing any UI mods this macro worked exactly as advertised: shift+1 fired Corruption, Ctrl+1 fired Amplify Curse and CoA.

Well that's good to know because I really wanted to keep BT3 and start expanding on what is currenlty a very basic config.

I guess my question now is, how was the macro working prior to installing UI mods and which config or file do I need to open to change whatever got updated back?

Awesome, thanks for all your help. I'll get right on that as soon as this stoopid maintenance is done.

I've been occasionally losing my first action bar.

Happened twice last night...once when I looted: immediately when I shift clicked on the dead mob's loot. This happened outside an instance. Also happened a few minutes afterwards but when I finished combat.

Interestingly I had bartender set to not lock buttons, so I dragged my spells down from my spell book and where my first action bar would be I was able to add actions. This bar did not have the usual 1 to =/0 on the button faces though. I then logged out to the character screen, logged back in and my default bar 1 was back again!

Is there anything which I can do to help determine where/why this is happening?

Love the addon, but have 1 small issue. Which I somehow was able to resolve before, but I just recently wiped my machine, and reinstalled (viruses ftl), and now I can't seem to find/remember how I fixed it.

I'm trying to get the skill descriptions back on the button tooltip, rather than it just telling me the skill and rank. I've read through half of this 151 page thread, and wasn't able to find any similar question/answer, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You need a tooltip for that I think. Maybe Tinytip?

Is there any chance that BT3 will support ButtonFacade instead or with CyCircled ?

There are bar paging settings for each of the druid forms (bear, cat, moonkin and tree), however, I was wondering if it would be possible to add a paging setting for Swift Flight Form and Flight Form.

The only reason I ask this is there are a few bombing dailies and it would be nice to give my birdy it's own bar upon shifting.

Thanks.

I dont think i'll do that change in BT3.

I think it's a bit sad, because BT3 is still perfectly functionnal, stable and reliable, nothing wrong with BT4 of course but :)

I'm unable to switch my action pages to anything above 6. I have set bars 7 - 10 up using paging, but my key binding isn't working. When I open the WoW keybindings, I see that there's only entries for action pages 1-6. So now, when I press shift+7, nothing happens.

How do I get 7-10 to work?

I have a friend who wishes to use button paging for his 4th action bar, however he wishes to use his 4th mouse button to page through said bars, b/w 4 and 2 I believe. Is there a way to toggle button paging with alternative buttons? Such as mouse button 4?

Is it possible to have bars fade in when I enter combat and fade out when combat is over.
