+ plain$What version of Grid are you using?
+ r1278 currently, but tried alot of versions
+
+ What version (and language) of WoW are you using?
+ 3.3 en
+
+ What were you doing when the problem occured?
+ anything
+
+ What happened?  What did you expect to happen instead?
+ It was a ticket about frame locks before but was closed because you couldnt reproduce it. It happens on every group change (someone is changing zone, joining or leaving group). It's very hard to play in large groups (IoC, AV), even in 25 man raids it is annoying.
+
+ Do you have an error log of what happened?
+ no
+
+ Please provide any additional information below.
+ The reason i'm posting this ticked again is that i found something new. It happens only when i use an opengl engine (wow.exe -opengl). May be the grid is using something to update the frame which is buggy in opengl implementation. Although Grid2 is not affected, it's working smooth, but not really usable for me.

  Yep. Greltok and I did some brief testing earlier this evening and didn't notice any issues with it. I still haven't had time to actually run any instances, so please do report any issues you encounter with frames updating. :)

  The small_patch so far seems ok regarding the primary issue. Also, using it instead of v7b in Oculus resulted in correct mount updates for party including self (box changed correctly to represent mount when mounted, and switched back on dismount).

  Attached small_patch.zip This patch doesn't change the original Grid logics, it still covers all the problems by global frame updates, but I moved all of the UpdateFrameUnits calls into the queue, so it will be executed max 1 time per 0.5 sec. Please try it and check the freezes. Theoretically it shouldn't break anything, so can be commited to the original source after some testing.

  The button is in the corner of Grid frame, not healthboxes.

  Will add more checks soon, just got no time atm...

  I'm still using v6, since I cant have a button in any corner of any healthbox, since I use them all to show buff/hots/counters. In ToC5 I noticed that when I have low hp on a mount, and rides over to another mount, clicks it without demounting, and jumpsover to it and get a new mount with full hp. Grid doesnt update my hp any more, it only shows the old hp.

  About the range issue, I was in pvp with my lowbie rogue(WSG) and the second round I did there was a guy out-of-range all the time. When I checked his name it was something familiar. It turned out he was a guy who was from another the WSG I did 10mins earlier, and most likely he was out of range when that WSG was over. And consequently his opacity was "out-of-range" all BG. What was weird with that, was I was in a group with my mate, and his box was ok, but a strangers box from another server was not. So..maybe its an update problem after all?

  Sometimes when players are getting into vehicles blizzard doesn't send this info with PLAYER_ENTERED_VEHICLE event but abit later or doesn't send at all. Which is leading to the bugs Notechaser posted and it's hard to reproduce. So the button is forcing to update all of the frames, something like local Reload UI for the Grid. So if you see something wrong with the frames - press that button to fix it.

  This worked for me, thanks alot!

  edit: I apologize in advance if I overlooked the way to find out the anwser to this question easier. What's with the "button" in the top left? I see the description above but I can't read the full description. I've looked through the options in grid and such to try to see what it's there for.
