- Its been quite a while since I last used Cartographer; have it disabled on my two 80 raiding characters due to its [[http://www.wowace.com/addons/cartographer/tickets/148-cartographer-instance-maps-preventing-drop-down-menus/|long standing, unfixed bug]] preventing Blizzard right-click menus from working in instances. But started a new alt recently. So am using it again as there is nothing I can do with all the old notes I have recorded with Cartographer, other than continue to use it.

- Thus I don't know whether today's WoW "mini-tool patch" downloaded to USEnglish sever/clients has affected the GUI note creation or not. But it may have. Two things: using the "///note (coord) (coord) (title)//" command line to create notes works fine. But not via the GUI, and the command line is a hassle. And right-clicking existing notes to modify them brings up the GUI and works fine. Just not creating new ones.

  Through far too much testing, finally discovered the problem. Cartographer is seriously &*^%ing up loading/dealing with its own LOD (load on demand) submodules.

  All submodules are installed in separate folders and all of their TOCs have " LoadOnDemand: 1". With Cartographer & Cartographer_Notes loading only, the above noted problem occurs. With those & all its other submodules loading, the problem still occurs. That + a normal mod load: ditto.

  But...when I do one of two different things, the problem disappears and I can access the create-note GUI frame:

  1) Uncheck Cartographer_LookNFeel so it doesn't load at all. Log into WoW. Open the map, try to create a note and run into the above problem. But then...open OptionHouse and load Cartographer_LookNFeel manually in-game.

  Go back to the world map and sure enough...the GUI note frame appears as expected.

  2) Instead of the above, exit WoW, head into Cartographer_LookNFeel's TOC and delete the " LoadOnDemand: 1" line. Normal mod load, all submodules loading, etc.., start up and log on WoW, the problem is gone again.

  The curiosity is that on a different character with the exact same mod load (Cartographer, the identical submodules loading as the character with the problem & OptionHouse), the problem never occurs even without doing 1) or 2) above. Only happens on a new character I created recently. Tested using different profiles, using identical profiles and on and on. Its not a profile issue. The only two things that resolve the problem on the one character are as noted above.

  I'm going to do a quicky commit to remove " LoadOnDemand: 1" from Cartographer_LookNFeel within the week if none of the maintainers are around.

  EDIT: As changed in the ticket above, further testing shows that editing existing notes doesn't work at all either. Right-click an existing note, click "Edit note" and nothing happens. You can, though, delete existing notes.

  Also, the same problems occurs with the earlier release revision r2328/v2.5.6.
