Objective Tracker in Edit Mode

On only one of my characters the Objective Tracker windows is out of position and takes up the entire length of my screen, when I move it back into position the size remain very larger. Also, the grid spacing slider is not present, and my entire game window is in only 4 sections (1/4 screen each). There is no option to resize the Objective Tracker Window. I tried disabling all addons with no help. In addition, I am not able to exit HUD Edit Mode. Again, this is only happening on one of my toons, the rest are fine. Please help!

So far I haven’t been able to move my objective tracker at all on any of my toons.

I am also having the exact same issue. It only affects one of my characters, but it’s my main. Anybody have any ideas?

Make sure you turn off all your addons, see if that fixes it if it doesn’t then you have to go the hard route:

  1. Exit the game.
  2. Find your wow retail folder.
  3. Rename cache to cache-today’s date
    (ex: cache-10282022)
  4. Rename wtf to wtf-today’s date
    (ex: wtf-10282022)
  5. Rename interface to interface-today’s date
    (ex: interface-10282022)
  6. Make sure you exit out of your Battle.net client completely use task manager to make sure it closed, or restart your PC.
  7. Start your Battle.net client as Administrator.
  8. Do a scan and repair using the Battle.net client
  9. Then restart the game and log into your character.

You will notice you have no addons, and your screen configuration may be different, reverted back to basic look.

Next you want to go to options/graphics and look for Use UI scale, put a checkmark in that and lower it to 64.
(it will shrink all the items on the screen).

Close this panel and go into Edit Mode, make any changes you would like and save them.

Log out of your character after every major change you make this way you know if it failed to save.

(A guildie of mine was having trouble saving his changes to the chat window when he moved it away from the corner, it would pop back to the corner after he logged out, so rather than move it we reshaped it in the corner then logged out and saved that, then we were able to move it when he logged back in and it kept the configuration.)

Next once you are done with all the changes go back to the Use UI scale in graphics and raise it up until you feel comfortable with the scale.

Next you can readd addons.

Slowly update your addons to ensure they are all working and do not break the UI.
Anything that is older and hasn’t been upgraded should be avoided until they do.

If you feel confident about all your addons working, you can revert the rename of interface-today’s date.

Example:
Rename Interface to Interface-Clean
Rename Interface-10282022 to Interface

At this point you have all your addons but they are not configured so you will have to reconfigure them, there are ways to copy individual configurations but honestly it doesn’t pay in the long run its easier to just start fresh.

Good luck.

EDIT: For a simple problem like not being able to save something - try to turn off SNAP I just read in another post that it may be causing issues, not allowing people to save.

So, I managed to fix this issue by going into the WTF folder and deleting the folder with my character’s name on it. It fixed the issue without screwing up any of the other settings, and without having to redo my UI.
