Druid Secondary Bar Not Showing Correctly

[scarez]

On my main, which is a Resto Druid, when I am in instance and shift into cat form to do damage since the latest patch I am noticing that the secondary resource bar does not show until I exit combat. So the loop would be I start out healing and then shift while in combat to cat form, since pre-patch launched this has worked correctly, with the latest patch it has not. I do not use the default Blizzard frames and have the Class Bar disabled on my ElvUI Player frame, in fact I have my player frame set to hide when in a party as I rely on my party frames for healing. This has been my setup since pre-patch and has worked fine until now. The secondary bar does eventually show up when I leave combat, but then the same issue happens on the next pull.

1st image you can see I am in combat in instance had applied heals and then shifted into cat form, but no combo bar. 2nd image you can see the combo bar where it should be and I am not in combat.

It does not matter what instance I am in, but it does happen in every instance, if the bar is not visible when we start combat and then I shift it does not appear until we leave combat. And even if it is visible and then I shift out of cat form and back in it will not appear until we leave combat.

I am on the latest version available on CurseForge. 1.5.7 I think it is.

[Snsei987]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I found why this is happening, will try to provide a fix ASAP.

This will likely involve restricting in some way some settings (Position and RelativeFrame) if "Clickable Health Bar" is checked. The reason is that currently making the bar clickable (enabled or not) makes the bar "Secured", meaning heavily restricted in combat. When you make the health bar relative to another bar (in your case, the secondary resource bar), it propagates its secured state to the secondary resource and this is the breaking part. Addon cannot resize or move a secured frame in combat, and visibility is handled differently.

I am working on making the health bar conditionally secured, depending on whether the clickable health bar setting is checked or not. If you have it checked, you will not be able to select any position and the addon bar will be removed from the list of the relative frames available.

I will update here if the plan changes or if I find a better fix.

[scarez]

I normally don't use the health bar, at least not currently, so mine is hidden right now.

[Snsei987]

Having it hidden or not does not matter for the issue to appear currently.

[scarez]

Ok, so let me see if I am following here. You have coded to allow the Health Bar to be "Clickable" and because of that, regardless whether the user has enabled or disabled that option, it changes the health bar to a "secured" state? I only ever use the Primary & Secondary bars, but because the Health Bar is attached to the Primary or Secondary bar for positioning, that "Secured" state is then applied to the other two bars?

[scarez]

Alright I fixed it for me, no longer an issue. I changed the Health Bar Relative Frame from Secondary Resource Bar to UIParent. I don't think I would have set it to Secondary Resource Bar for any reason since I don't actually use the Health Bar in my UI, so what I might recommend is if you have it set to default that way maybe leave it set to UIParent. Otherwise, I also copied my profile from Luxthos, so his profiles may need to be updated to not use the Health Bar as well. He does have the Health Bar hidden in Edit Mode, so assume he also does not use it. Not sure if the Sensei Resource Bar profile influences the Edit Mode profile.
