When I use my existing PitBull profile with my new Death Knight, the health bar is not decreasing when units take damage. However if I create a new profile, everything seems fine.

There are a few issues when logging onto deathknights at the moment. The target frame does not always showing up after selecting someone or something (it seems to be just a graphical glitch because I can still right click where the target frame should be and get the target options to show up). The runes also do not relocate to the player bar but instead remain in the default blizzard position. Lastly, I noticed that runic power color does not update properly after changing the color settings.
- all of these errors are when using the last release (not sure about alpha builds)*

A small problem with PitBull_RangeCheck:
When checking if a unit is within range with a heal spell, I see you've added a check to see if the unit is an enemy (since in that case the range check will "fail" in any case) thusly:
or not UnitIsFriend("player", unit)
Problem with that is that UnitIsFriend doesn't seem to be working (as expected?) with party members; it will for example return 1 for mind controlled party members or ones that you're dueling with.
And why that is a problem is basically dispelling mind controls; it's really annoying to try to spot whether someone got mind controlled or suddenly went out of range (since frame coloring and aura icons get rather transparent as well) in situations where you know mind control is a possibility.
My quick fix is to use a harmful spell in addition to heal (for example IsSpellInRange(GetSpellInfo("Smite"), unit) == 1) instead of not UnitIsFriend (since unfortunately you can't use Dispel for checking until level 36). While doing two IsSpellInRange checks might be undesirable, this works for any level and it won't make enemies always out of / within range as the current implementation / using IsUnitEnemy instead would do.

I was wondering about combat text on target of target and target of focus. For some reason, it will not show up nor can I enter it as an option to enable. It works for other units.

I am having an issue in Pitbull 3.0. I am attempting to configure unit frames when in "Party" mode. Any drop-down lists under "All Units" will not change their selection. For example, let's say you're trying to change the Health format from Absolute to Absolute Short. If I go under All Units/Texts/Health, the format choice for Absolute Short is listed. If I expand the list and click Absolute Short, the listbox does not change its value. If I then go to a single unit frame, i.e., Player/Target/Party, and do the same action, the type changes. What is weird is that if I change said option Player and then go to All Units, the option is changed.
Please note that this only seems to happen on listboxes under All Units. Sliders, text boxes, and other forms of input do not seem to have this issue. I was not sure if this was a bug or a recent change to Pitbull that I was not aware of.

I'm also having that mouse over issue with pitbull. Where is it that I turn off the option for the blizzard display of threat? Is that something I turn off in the game interface or is that something that I need to turn off in Pitbull? Thanks in advance.
