  How do users configure their plugins atm with the configuration options off the screen?

  Stop using outdated plugins. No official support for plugins is provided or guaranteed at all. You should especially not expect an outdated plugin to be completely usable or functional.

  Nm, I figured it out.

  Just change:

  type = "group",

  to:

  type = "group", inline = true,

  In the plugin

  The problem is partly with the plugin(s), and partly with the AceConfigDialog-3.0 library that generates the actual configuration window from a data table Grid creates (and plugins add to). AceConfig organizes options based on the concept of "groups". Previously, Grid's data table didn't provide any "hints" on how AceConfig should render its options, so AceConfig used the default "tree view" layout. I didn't think this layout was very user-friendly (navigating through the options required clicking tiny buttons to expand nested list menus, and clicking on many list menu entries showed a blank panel), so I'm working on changing it.

  Part of this change involves "hinting" that some groups should be shown "inline". You can see this in the "Frame" section; the "Bar" options are a group, but they're shown in the same panel, just with a box drawn around them to show that they're together. The problem is that not all plugins are providing the same hint (because they haven't been updated yet), and AceConfig doesn't really know how to render sections where some groups are inline, and some groups aren't inline, at the same level.

  Status plugins and layout plugins don't break the menu because they're not working with the part of Grid's options table that now tells AceConfig to render subgroups inline.

  If you need to change a setting related to a non-status, non-layout plugin, you'll need to either (a) wait until the plugin is updated, or (b) temporarily revert to an older version of Grid.

  Either way, it's not actually a bug in Grid, so I'm going to close the ticket.

  Hi,

  The config window is very better on r1392 and r1393, but i have the same problem as Anurion, and if i disable some plugins, the problem disappear.

  List of tested plugins :
  

  • GridUnitMenu: ok
  • Grid_QuickHealth: ok
  • GridConfigIcons: break
  • GridCooldownText: break
  • GridCustomLayouts: ok
  • GridIndicatorCornerIcons: break
  • GridIndicatorCornerPlus: break
  • GridIndicatorCornerText: break
  • GridIndicatorSideIcons: break
  • GridIndicatorSidePlus: break
  • GridIndicatorSideText: break
  • GridIndicatorText3: break
  • GridManaBars: break
  • GridStatusHealingReduced: ok
  • GridStatusHostileUnit: ok
  • GridStatusAFK: ok
  • GridStatusDungeonRole: ok
  • GridStatusHots: ok
  • GridStatusLineOfSight: ok (personal version based on r1392)
    
  • GridStatusRaidDebuff: ok
  • GridStatusRaidIcons: ok
  • GridStatusRes: ok
  • GridStatusRole: ok
  • GridStatusSanity: ok
  • GridTooltip: ok

  I'm only a amateur coder, however my modified GridStatusLineOfSight don't break the config window, and you have writen No plugin changes are required on r1392 change log.

  So i think that the problem is with the code of listed addons that break the config window.

  Thanks for yor great addon, and sorry for my bad english.
