Omnibar has been blocked from an action

So forever now I’ve been getting random pop-ups of the following when I use random abilities (on all toons, all different abilities):

“Omnibar has been blocked from an action only available to the blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI.”

No matter how many times I’ve updated the addon, I still get this prompt which just keeps popping up. I can usually relog and it goes away, but it always comes back randomly. Anyone know of any solutions to this?

Thanks!!

Something something tainted. Reloading is the fix.

Uh, for me it’s usually doing something in combat, like opening my bags or spellbook, I think.

Idk why they do that, but i always reload my ui whenever i get into an arena or bg.
I have a /reload macro to make ot easier.

When you get an error, hit ignore then reload ui

Since this expansion came out, I’ve honed my skills to become the fastest /reload typer in the entire world probably. The speed at which I can type it ain’t nothin’ to SCOFF AT.

There might be a weakaura alternative to omnibar.

Well, i’m open to whatever everyone else is doing because this is getting old.

There is also an addon that stops addons from blocking your action bars but unfortunately I don’t know the name of it.

press esc unless you’re terrible and then you can waste time mid match coming up to click on ignore

Is this it?

Yea same my omnibar hasnt been working since DF launched, I found a weak aura that does basically the same thing, but half the time it doenst even work idk why.

I’ve had a few games where OmniBar crashes hard when the gates open and then the game forces me to reload.

Always fun to come back to see that the enemy team is already hammering me into the ground.

This is just part of the DF experience. Gotta add random spikes of difficulty to keep you engaged.

I make sure to reload at the start of any instanced content. And the error usually doesn’t occur.

Usually.

For me it’s always shadowbolt hand of guldan and soul well.

If you are using the bug snatcher addon it has a bag icon on the mini map. You can shift click this icon to reload the UI which is super convenient and helps to minimize this issue.

I have read quite a few threads on this and everyone seems to agree it’s a problem with Blizzards UI code since the UI update before DF went live and not something the addon makers can fix. So we just have to live with it until Blizzard fixes it. From the error it seems to have something to do with the action bars and an action causing the addon to fail. Same error every time and it happens with weakauras too not just Omnibar. Oddly porting or changing talents seems to trigger it more frequently.
