136 - Right Click Menu problems

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. entering any instance

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Its expected for right click menus to be working inside instances but instead
All right click menus are disabled
I cant right click any mobs, pet, myself, party member, raid member, neither any other addons. All right click menus are disabled fully inside instances.

What version of the product are you using?
v2.5.3

Do you have an error log of what happened?
I would say no since there are no error messages or faults posted, the game just refuses to allow any right click menus while cartographer is turned on.

Please provide any additional information below.
Had to play turn on and turn off for several hours till i found out that its cartographer thats causing the problem. While i turn it off or uninstall it, the right click menus work fine.
This problem presisted through several ui resets and a complete reinstall of wow, so the problem isnt cache related i would say.
Also i have the notes part of cartographer disabled fully due it cannot be turned off by any means. Even if i switch it off it keeps flooding the map with poi notes and its annoying the soul out of me. Anyways, donno if that has anything to do with the problem just mentioning that i have the notes part turned off at the addon screen.

Having this issues only inside instances. Although i don't use Questhelper I do use MobMap, and having Cart and MobMap both enabled is what does it for me.

I have same issue except I don't need to go inside instance to reproduce it. Sometimes everything is working sometimes is not.

What do I see is: If I right click UI frame or some addon that have menus. I see the menu for 1 second then the menu automaticcly closes. For example. I cannot select other than 10 yard range in /range menu because I have to be very fast, because the menu closes after 1 second. Same is for right click Whisper.

For what it's worth, I have the same issue. Turn off Cartographer (not the google version) and all is well.

Was there any reason to report the same issue twice, its under 133.

Workaround is to open the map screen then right click, it will work as normal.

Every version of QH that works on 3.1 will be vulnerable to this bug, as they all use the same Astrolabe code (I say this as the developer of QH ;) ) There's also no real way for it to be fixed in QH - I'm about 90% sure the error lies on the Cartographer side of things.

I've had this issue and observed it disappear when I updated QuestHelper to version 1.06, so you might try that. (but I still get the Cartographer Astrolabe error on every login as reported elsewhere in 2.5.3).

It turns out this problem is due to an interaction between Cartographer and other UI mods. Here's a reproducible case, to the best of my ability.
- Install Cart 2.5.3 (bug exists with some older versions also)
- Enable Cartographer and Cartographer Instance Maps (other cartographer plugins are unnecessary for this)
- Disable all other UI mods (not actually necessary, but, y'know, makes it more obvious what the problem is)
- Travel to a dungeon. This may need to be a dungeon that does not have a built-in map and does has a map in Cartographer. I haven't extensively tested what works and what doesn't - BRD, however, causes the error. :) I imagine most classic or BC dungeons will cause the problem, Northrend may or may not.
- Enter the following code into the console:
/script local f = CreateFrame("Frame") f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function () if early_out then return end SetMapToCurrentZone() SetMapZoom(GetCurrentMapContinent()) end)

Observe that things which should be right-clickable no longer are.

"/script early_out = true" and "/script early_out = false" can be used to turn the breakage on or off, to prove that it's related to this. Note that it only breaks clickability until the next OnUpdate - that's why it needs to be in an OnUpdate handler.

I feel this is a bug in Cartographer, as the above commands shouldn't cause problems of this sort. Most notably, the above commands are exactly what Astrolabe does when the player location is checked, so any UI mod that polls the current location every frame (Questhelper, as a purely hypothetical example) will result in everything breaking badly.

so its a problem involving instance maps?
