This started in 8.1.5. I play windowed mode, not fullscreen. Window size is randomly changing. It either becomes slightly smaller or stays the same after a series of microchanges. That causes ~5 second freeze. Most often in Boralus, while running from inn to the ship, but happens in other zones too. Not an addon issue, there is no api for changing windows size. DX12, NVidia card. Is this a known issue?
Hey, im bumping this, because i have the exact issues as you described.
They started since 8.1.5.
Happened in dungeon too yesterday (Waycrest Manor, m+). Switching to DX11 fixes the issue.

i have the same issues. it started in 8.1.0 and then suddenly it was no problem. then 8.1.5 comes and the problem returned.
especially that wow tries to put the window in the middle while you are active playing. heartstoning, other zone changes, relogging character, are all action that triggers an effect while wow tries to reposition the window itself. a behaviour i have not seen in any windows program before. for me an undesirable effect as i want to decide where the window comes. especially as i play multiple chars at the same time and put the windows next to each other.
A very interesting issue, but happy to see that switching to DX11 helps out.
@Archronos and @Xinai, could you try that as well?
Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how Iām doing!
