I am experiencing a bug with the official damage meter added to the game. I cannot move the damage meter frame at all. Even though the grid/anchor box moves when I enter HUD Edit Mode, the actual damage meter remains frozen in its original position. I have tried clicking ‘Reset to Default’ in the settings, but it didn’t help…

turn it off and use https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/details/files (or wait when they fix)
Hey Arteezyy,
I’m not having any issue moving the damage meter when using Edit Mode on my end.
If the issue persists, please try to disable all your addons, and reset your interface. If it’s still the case after this, you can report a bug to our developers directly.
You don’t need to reset your whole Interface. Just delete “Blizzard_DamageMeter” and “Blizzard_DamageMeter.lua.bak” in your SavedVariables. Path to this should look like this: World of Waracraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\SERVER\YOUR_CHARACTER\

Try this script:
/run f=DamageMeterSessionWindow1 if not f.d then f:SetMovable(1)f:RegisterForDrag(“LeftButton”)f:SetScript(‘OnDragStart’,f.StartMoving)f:SetScript(“OnDragStop”,f.StopMovingOrSizing)f.d=1 end f:EnableMouse(not f:IsMouseEnabled())
The first entry activates window movement, the second entry deactivates movement. However, the position is not permanently saved; reload or relog and it will be back in its old position.
This should only be considered a temporary fix until Blizzard fixes the bug.

I had my damage meters positioned at bottom right side, next day after login they are again back on default position. When i try to go in edit mode to change the position again, it showing the correct custom position achors but meters visually are on default.

I have had no issues with it. Until today. Now its back to default, but you cant edit it as the edit part is where the damage meter is supposed to be, but there is no damage meter there as it is back to the default position. Very likely an UI bug, so shouldn’t be a big fix blizzard.
Hello,
I’ve an issue with the ingame damage meter.
This week i’ve bin setting up my new UI for midnight and all was set and done.
However the next day when i logged in my Damage meter wasnt where i put it.
the Window of the damage meter had moved itself from the bottum right corner of my screen to the top left. When i got into Edit mode to drag it back down to where i want it, it showed me the Blue outline box for the damage meter was still on the spot where i left it.
But in no way possible did the actual window move on my screen. it was fixed into position and can’t move. Turning the Damage meter on/off in the options menu and Edit mode did not reset it. it only turns it on or off.
I disabled all my addons and still nothing happens. The “Delete Window” option that is in the window dropbox options is greyed out aswell. all other windows i create with the “create new window” i can easily delete again.
The second strange thing is that this is only on my main Character where i build my UI on.
Ive made a tech Support ticket ingame but i received an Automated response where the standard reply is noted. and nothing is being addressed to the actual issue that is at hand.
I sadly cant share the screenshots i made on the issue here to help explain what my issue is.
Is there anyone else with this problem and did they manage to fix it??
Sincerly,
Shadow
It completely stopped working for me. It was working fine earlier today. It is not counting anything and whatever value is suck on display can’t be expanded to view details.
At the same time I started getting swarmed with LowHealthFrame and similar related errors which appears to be the elements of the basic UI.
I have read this method in other post (for my friends it worked):
go to : wow\_retail_\wtf\account\accountname\servername\charactername\savedvariables
delete: Blizzard_DamageMeter.lua and lua.bak too
this will reset the damage meter

m2 have same problem
Sadly this didnt work in my case! the damage meter window is still stuck in the Top left of my screen 
I find it curious that the fix works for some and doesn’t for others.
Funny thing!! i dont have these files in that folder XD. So i cant even try this!!
it’s working my brother, ty for the help 
Bug still a thing. It locks into the corner, you fix it, you relog and it is back again.
It is an extremely annoying issue.
Deleting the file over and over again, for each game session (and pray I dont log out for any reason) is EXTREMELY annoying to deal with.
I disconnected today, and the same issue is happening on the character I disconnected on. On my other character everything is normal, but on the character I disconnected on, the damage meter is bugged and stuck like that.
This fixed this ty man ty <3
