Wow… great job… I wouldn’t say this annoyed me as much as it did to you but it was noticeable.

There is a workaround for the Cog of DOOM issue…you have make a /macro to disable your tooltips when you are around a cog that causes problems (BG / Headless Horseman event), and then re-enable them when you are done. The macro commands are in a post on the wow boards that got stickied and blued. I believe this is the link, but can’t check since I am at work:

Thank you very, very much. I too love x-perl… and am glad they are still updating this addon; it seemed for a time they were going to just abandon it.

As of 4:19 AM PDT (shush, you) X-perl being unable to right-click off buffs is no more.

The gear icon bug isn’t vuhdo specific… I encountered it without Vuhdo… seems like it’s pretty random, but nasty.

Should note that with the exception of the Weighted Jack-o’-Lantern, all of these costumes are removable by popping into your Druid form of choice. Whee polymorph immunity?

I use Satrina Buff Frames for buff/debuff tracking (more customization than I could ever use but great at tailoring what I see depending on which toon I’m on). Similar issue as with X-Perl and almost the same answer. The Interface Addon kit seems to be the answer for a lot of things.

Anyone got an answer for the mouseover gear icon bug? Disabling Vuhdo seems to have fixed it for me (so far) but sure makes it a pain to heal. Healbot, here I come…

Just because its intentional doesn’t mean it isn’t a bug. Bad but functional design gets marked as a bug in my projects every day. Its clearly a horrible idea to allow so much customization of the UI, but then disable basic interactions with customized buttons. Basically they decided there was a security problem with addons turning off buffs, and rather than re-engineer a proper solution they did this ad-hoc fix.

I switched over to using Raven as my buff display. They have a nice workaround, where you can re-enable the Blizz buff display from your DataBroker display.
