What version of Grid2 are you using (Version is displayed in General/About Tab) ?
2.7.3
What game client version, classic or retail, windows or mac and language are you using ?
Retail
What steps will reproduce the problem?
The new Private Auras debuff group is great; however, there doesn't seem to be any way to hide tooltips on that frame. Would this be possible to add? Seeing the big spell tooltips as I mouse over frames is very distracting when healing and mousing over frames.
Did you try having Grid2 as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled?
Didn't try but I did make sure that it was only the Grid2 private aura frame showing (not a WA private aura)
Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
Not sure - I didn't really notice it as much before but I've just started healing in raid a bit more.
Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack).
No error
Please provide any additional information below.
I can try to get a screenshot of this in action if it's needed - I checked my vods and don't seem to have one right now (was playing aug not healer for recent pulls) but can probably get one if needed.
I can not hide private aura tooltips (at least in a sane way), all of this stuff is protected by the game.
Gotcha, ok. Is that also why the tooltips are showing up under my mouse and not in the corner, like my other tooltips do (due to an addon), and why my WeakAura that blocks tooltips in combat doesn't work? Do the tooltips from this frame not count as GameTooltip?
The purpose of private auras is to prevent addons from reading the auras information. An addon can read a normal tooltip and figure out which information is being displayed.
So those private icons and tooltips are special/protected, and cannot be manipulated by any addon.
There is a tricky way to disable the tooltips: to display transparent frames on top of the private icons, this prevents the mouse cursor from entering inside the icons and the tooltips are never enabled/displayed.
But then clique and mouse over macros don't work just in the zone where the icons are displayed.
I could fix this making the raid unit frames transparent, and displaying all Grid2 indicators, private auras and a new frame background in a lower layer under the unit frames, but this requires a refactor of all indicators code and could break a lot of things, so I'm not going to do that, at least not in the near future.
