Reloads the UI |
- Party and raid role icons (DPS, Healer, Tank) may be lost after reloading the UI during combat in dungeons joined via the Dungeon Finder.
- Party and raid scenarios still need broader real-world validation.
- Some compatibility paths with third-party addons may still require manual module disablement or extra cleanup.
- Found a bug or want to suggest a feature? Let me know in the issues.
