Addons that block you from opening the questlog in combat?

i can open the map just fine but actually clicking on a tracked quest during combat gives me a “interface action failed because of an addon” message in the chat (but usually it won’t say anything)

before i start disabling and enabling all of my addons one by one i want to know if this is a known issue and i can avoid spending a ton of time on tracking it down myself

(ill add a list of which ones i have jic!)
dbm
deja character stats
details!
easy frames
herodbc + herolib
mbb (minimap button bag)
narcissus
npcscan
pettracker
simulationcraft
tomtom
trp 3
weakauras

(i know this is a ton but other than that ive never ran into any interface issues)

I do not have a solution, however I do have this bug sometimes and the only addons we’re sharing in your list are:
MBB
Simulationcraft
Weakauras

So these 3 might be worth a closer look.

When a quest is added to the tracked quest list through any addon code, this quest entry inherits the “taint”. For me this happens for example when I shift click a quest in my world map quest log (because I use the map addon Mapster; same goes for Leatrix Maps). I don’t know which of your addons could be responsible for this, but it seems to be a similar effect. Do any of your addons trigger a quest being added to the tracked quest list?

A “tainted” tracked quest list entry is not allowed to show the world map during combat. (Actually no idea why Blizzard made opening the world map protected.) But there is a workaround which I implemented in my addon https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/persistent-world-map. Maybe this resolves your issue too.

thank you so so much, you added a lot of helpful insight to this and ill make sure to add that addon, i have a feeling that might be what will fix this!

(i forgot to mention i also have the Immersion addon!! if it’s not those three Rimian listed then im almost sure it could have smth to do w/ it?)

I had it once but not anymore, so… Perhaps, but very unlikely.
