ChocolateBar Broker Display

13 - LDB Tooltip Flickering

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Mouse over an LDB plugin displayed on ChocolateBar
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect for the tooltips to not flicker on mouse over, but tooltip flickering occurs for some of the LDB plugins (ex: Big Wigs and Atlas).

What version of the product are you using?
r26

Do you have an error log of what happened?
N/A

Please provide any additional information below.
Flickering does not occur for all LDB plugins such as Broker Location, Broker Bags, and Broker HitCrit. I also use Fubar2Broker and no flickering occurs for any of the FuBar plugins displayed on ChocolateBar.

    There are different ways a ldb plugin can provide a tooptip. Some create their own frame or use a lib. But all the addons you mentioned use the common GameToolTip frame and that one was changed by the TipTac addon.

    You were right. Another mod is causing the issue. It's TipTac which is unfortunate because I really like that tooltip mod. Now the question is why do some LDB plugins (and all FuBar pluings via Fubar2Broker that I use) not exhibit this behavior while other ones do.

    Edit: I swapped TipTac out for TinyTip and now everything is working perfectly.

    Can you please try it with only bugsack and chocolatebar enabled.
    Maybe it is a problem with an other addon.
    (The easiest way to do this is to create a char on a server you do not play on because you can hit the disable all button there without changing the settings of your other chars:)

    I am trying hard to get flickering tooltips whit the plugins you mentioned but no luck so far xD

    Thanks for your patience.

    Ps: yes atlas has a tooltip I mixed it up with atlas loot, sry^^

    Unfortunately, adjusting the frame strata does not correct this issue. My strata was already set on high but I tested every strata setting (even low) for completeness. I also confirmed that the LDB plugin bundled with Atlas (v1.13.0) has a simple tooltip that simply says left click to open Atlas and right click for options. This plugin's tooltip, for example, continues to flicker on any strata setting.

    Edit: Another plugin that seems to exhibit this flickering behavior the most is the LDB plugin bundled with BugSack.

    I don't have autohide enabled. I will play around with the frame strata tonight when I have access to the game to see if that corrects the issue.

    Hmm I do not have any flickering with Big Wings and my atlas has not tooltip oO (only the atlasfu) Do you have autohide enabled? Does changing the frame strata to a higher lvl help?
