So I logged in today to find a new bug.
It all started when I pressed the hotkey to open up the character pane which is by default mapped to “C”.
It did not open.
I tried all the other hotkeys for the basic menus/panes that exist in the lower right corner of the WoW UI and none of them showed up at all either.
The icons would highlight and flash but the panes would not open at all.
I was able to fix this by logging out and then back in again, upon doing so they would reappear again.
Then while running a M+ dungeon I found out that this extended to other panes.
I found out that when this bug happened not only could I not open up the map or my character pane etc…but I also could not inspect the character panes of other players or view trade windows with them when passing on loot that I did not need.
The game would seemingly react like those windows were open but I could not see anything at all. I do not use addons at all. I just have the base game. Logging out and then back in again seems to fix it but it persisted over multiple hours of play time and I had to explain to others just what was happening. It seems to fix itself after I do this but then randomly seems to pop back up again for some reason that I have not been able to deduce.
I do not know the trigger for this and if someone else can help me find it and post it in this thread then that would be most helpful.
Thank you and have a lovely day.
