Hi,

goto Alts.lua

search for "dist"

you should find a line like : 

_G.UnitPopupButtons["ALTS_SET_MAIN"] = {text = L"Set Main", dist = 0}

and change it into :

_G.UnitPopupButtons["ALTS_SET_MAIN"] = {text = "Set Main", dist = 0}

This will fix it.

Greetings

I have the same problem, and when I replace  _G.UnitPopupButtons["ALTS_SET_MAIN"] = {text = L["Set Main"], dist = 0} with  _G.UnitPopupButtons["ALTS_SET_MAIN"] = {text = L["Set Main"], dist = 0}, when I start the game or reload I get:

 Try replacing the line in question with this:

_G.UnitPopupButtons["ALTS_SET_MAIN"] = {text = L["Set Main"]}

(So just deleting the , dist = 0 bit.  No errors thrown here, been making the change every update for a while.  Do make sure to leave the closing curly bracket in, otherwise you'll just cause a whole new pile of errors.  :-P)

I have seen the errors when right clicking a name in chat.  I will try to fix that.  I have to add a hook to add the menu option but the client does not like that.

I added the fix and it should be available as a new release soon.
