DialogKey Numy tainting the Blizz UI

Been seeing this since Midnight launched:

Seems to happen a lot when mousing over icons on the map.

if you find a way to reliably reproduce it after a reload, I'm interested to hear it
I've not encountered these so far, but I'm also not playing until after the full release

[DrMaple]

I've been able to make the bug happen when hovering over map icons that have been collapsed because there are multiple of the same icon or sometimes when icons are overlapped on top of each other.

For instance, hovering over the part where these two elements are overlapped will cause the textHeight error

Hovering over this town icon will give the "Blizzard_SharedXML/LayoutFrame.lua:491: attempt to compare a secret number value (tainted by 'DialogKey_Numy')" error as well as list the quests that are being collapsed in the top left of the screen.

Zooming into the town so the quests are no longer collapsed won't give the error and will remove the quests in the top left

[Numynum]

if I do this with only dialogkey installed, no errors happen, and it shows the tooltip etc just fine 🤔

[rwygand]

I suspect it's another addon tainting the UI and getting reported as DialogKey, but I am not a Blizzard API/addon expert here so I am not sure if there's anything DK can do to harden itself against such tainting. I've had fewer issues after removing World Quest List, which may have been the root cause/culprit of the taints.

[DrMaple]

Is there any way to figure out what other addon it could be? I'm just confused because all my addon errors go away once DK is disabled. I don't use World Quest List/World Quest Tracker. The largest addons I have are Plumber, Leatrix, and HandyNotes.

[Numynum]

it's quite possible, but hard to say honestly
there's not much more I can do in DK to avoid taint (besides removing the 1-0 text from the quest/dialog windows)
it may possible help to install the latest alpha version of the Ace3 addon, it might ensure lib related blame gets blamed on that rather than on DK (since the addons are loaded alphabetically)

[Numynum]

"not much more I can do" unless I have some clearer idea of what's actually going on that is, without being able to reliably trigger any errors myself, it's very hard to find, let alone fix, any issues

[rwygand]

I've pretty much established it was WorldQuestsList. Booted up with with just those it and DK addons enabled. Got the error mousing over the map. WoW says it's DK, but disabling WQL or applying a fix locally (see https://legacy.curseforge.com/wow/addons/world-quests-list/issues/291). And no more taint. So, sorry Numy, I didn't realize the errors were reported in alphabetical order! I think you're off the hook.

[DrMaple]

It's very much not World Quest List considering I'm not using it and getting the same errors. I installed the latest Ace3 as well to see if the errors would report that instead but it was still blaming DK.

I'm not saying it can't be from something else btw, I'm just saying it's not just from that addon.

[Numynum]

I didn't realize the errors were reported in alphabetical order

they're not really, addons are loaded alphabetically, and libraries are initialized by the first addon that loads them; so if the issue is libraries, it's often blamed on me :/

I'll reopen the issue for now though, but good to know at least one of you solved it

@DrMaple addons that interact with the map are the most likely candidates; and make sure to install the latest Alpha version of Ace, just in case 🙂
