[BUG] Missile Barrage

Since October 19th (today), in world of warcraft classic wrath of the lich king, I noticed a weird behavior as an arcane mage when casting Arcane Missiles under the effect of Missile Barrage.

Yesterday and the days before, the missile channel bar represented accurately the channel time, but since this morning, the bar represents a longer duration than the actual channel time.

The damage is still there, but this is really annoying as I have to guess approximately where the channel ends (tracking the channel bar like a maniac) in order to queue up another spell without actually cutting the channel of the missile barrage proc before it ends.

I already checked with another mage who instantly acknowledged the issue.

Please look into this as it’s bugging us out, and a mood killer playing as a mage.

To reproduce:
Spec as arcane mage with missile barrage talent.
Cast arcane blast until the talent procs.
Cast arcane missiles.
=> Channel bar represents a longer channel than normal (and gives the impression the channel got cut at around 1/4th of the bar (so after 75%~ of channel).

ps: I play with the standard blizzard cast bar (also tried quartz addon but the problem is obviously still there since this is a core issue).

The bug actually affects all the channeled spell in game, not just mages.
Previously there were a bugged interaction between Troll’s racial (Da Voodoo Shuffle) and PvP meta gem (minus snare duration) with such spells - it used to directly reduce channel time. They kinda fixed it (it no longer present in instances, but still exists in outdoor) but completely messed up with cast bars in a way you just described it.
One guy in Shadow Priest Discord server made a fix for cast bar addon Gnosis for this, works perfectly atm.
