    Having bug on v3.2.2.6: default UI (player, target, possibly not only those) shows up even tho it is disabled in Healbot. The only way to remove them - to uncheck and check again removing of default frames in Pitbul settings. This way they'll show up again after any loading screen (intering instances, etc). No such problem with v3.2.2.5.

    List of addons plus error i saw only once and not sure if it has something to deal with this problem:

    I'd like to also say that this wasn't happening with version 3.2.2.5. I was seeing the same bug too after updating to 3.2.2.6. This was the only addon I had updated that day, so I figured something within it (or a new conflict with another addon) had caused the default Blizzard UI frames to always appear on game load AND also when zoning into a new area that required a load screen. Unchecking and checking the applicable "disable default frames" option in the Pitbull addon always fixed it, but when you're zoning a lot -- this can be annoying to always have to do. I permanently fixed it by unchecking the "Hide Party Frames" option within Healbot. I haven't seen this bug happen again since I unchecked that option within Healbot.

    So i just started using healbot with my druid. I think its a great add but its bugging out my action bars. It keeps switching my number one bar with other bars. I have the newest version and i am only using this one add.
    Any help would be great:)

    you are probably pressing Ctrl + scroll, that combo changes the bars, try to avoid asigning anything to Ctrl+middle button, or just un-bound the scrolling in game settings

    Hello!

    My English is not very good, I wanted you to clarify.

    I could see in the presentation of Healbot a screenshot of an interface, beautiful. I'm looking strongly artwork of the addons you use? To clarify, I search the addons where you integrate your minimap, your and your wowchat bars sorts.Celui reflecting the gray bar with the Tribal bottom of your screen.

    Again sorry for my English level, which is very bad.

    Thank you in advance for your response and I commend you for the quality of Healbot !

    Is there any way to make people be sorted alphabetically inside groups, like in Grid? I hato to use Grid for Anub'arak only, just because Healbot sorts people differently

  • I acknowledge that this won't be particularly useful, but I've been experiencing disconnects when using 3.2.2.6 in a raid group. Reverting to the previous version solves the problem.

    Linked to that, I found a problem.

    If I am disconnected during a boss encounter, and log back in, healbot is not populated properly (only myself shown, not raid members) Disabling and re-enabling healbot did not fix this. However, doing a /reloadui half-fixes it, but not entirely.

    After a /reloadui, the names are properly populated, as are missing health values and the colours update correctly too for missing health, but the bars do not change their size, and remain constantly at full.

    I'm having issues with Healbot not showing up. Once I log in, the box with the buttons on it doesnt appear. I've tried reinstalling it and nothing is fixing this. Any suggestions on what I could do?

    hello i was reading through the comments and noticed this one and was wondering if there was any way to do this. i would love to be able to set the groups by rows:

    "I want 1 row per group.

    I unchecked all Healing Bars, except Raid. I turned off the show headers in the Headers Options. In the Bars Options, I made sure Use Groups per Column was not selected. I set the columns to 5. The anchor is set to top left.

    My first row only has 4 and the second row has 3. The Raid has 5 people in the first group and 2 people in the second group. It appears that it is filling the two rows of five columns top to bottom, then left to right.

    |G1-5(me)|_G1-2_|_G1-4_|_G2-2_|______|
    |_G1-1___|_G1-3_|_G2-1_|______|______|

    What I'd like it to do (regardless of number in group):

    |G1-5(me)|_G1-1_|_G1-2_|_G1-2_|_G1-4_| <<<---Group 1 only
    |_G2-1___|_G2-2_|______|______|______| <<<---Group 2 only


    In others words the same as what you do with columns, except make it rows. Could you add the option to specify number of groups per row? Maybe an option that says "Specify number of groups by: Rows or Columns" (imagine radio/option button there) and then have the slider for the number be for Rows if the Rows option is chosen or Cols if the Columns option is chosen. "

    i love this addon and cant live without it. thank you so much for all your work.

    I've use this addon for years and love it. I always anchor to the top left. Therefore my own bar would ALWAYS be on the top left. This way I know exactly where I'm at healthwise at all time. In one of the recent changes, it has made it to where anyone designated a "main tank" in the raid takes the spot over me as the anchor. Is there an option to where I can change this. I like having the main tanks be together. I even like them anchored. But is there an "anchor priority" list that I could change that I am missing? Thanks for the great addon :)

  • I've had this issue as well. I really need to see my own health very visibly (i.e. top-left) in healbot, since that is what i'm looking at the majority of the time. It has always been this way, but now there is no way for this to occur. Any chance that you can revert this change?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • Was wondering the same thing about why the new version isn't allowing your bar to be defaulted to the top left like it always used to be. Any help on how to make this work would be much appreciated :)

  • I'm having an issue with HB. Unfortunately, it's locked in place, and nothing I can do will move it. In the Skins tab, it has a 'lock in place' feature. However, whether enabled or disabled, I can't get it to move. Thanks in advance.

  • Updated to 3.2.2.6, still having the same issue. Tried disabling all other AddOns, still nothing. Ran the .bat file to reset HB, and still it's stuck. Any ideas?

    Could someone explain the sequence of steps needed to assign individual Paladin buff(s) by name? Simply entering a name into the field presented does nothing. For instance, selecting the "Blessing of Kings" dropdown under the "Spell to Buff" heading, then selecting "Name" dropdown under the "Check Members" heading, then entering a valid raid/party member does nothing but make the entire procedure for that buff/row do nothing.
