Recent BUG: Action Bar doesn't update between flying and abilities

This just started to happen within the past few hours.

Normally when you mount up to dragonfly, the action bar changes to your “dragonflying” action bar, then changes back when you dismount back to your “abilities” bar…

This stopped happening…now when you mount up and land and dismount, the action bar does NOT change back, it stays showing greyed out dragonflying abilities…

It DOES still recognize the appropriate keybinds for your action bar that SHOULD be visible there and the keybinds work, I can cast all my spells like they were there but the visual still shows dragonflying bar…

A “reload UI” works to correct it but it just happens again over and over, sometimes my ability bar stays when mounting up, sometimes the dragonflying bar stays when dismounting…it’s just annoying and JUST started to happen.

This also happens when it tries to change to a “vehicle bar” when taking over a unit in XYZ worldquest, the unit SHOULD pull up its own actionbar with unit abilities but it doesn’t, your current actionbar remains…as soon as you reload UI the vehicle bar appears but then you cant get rid of it even after you exit the unit until you reload your UI again

Even though I can still “use” my actionbar like it was there, it’s just distracting to not “see” what I am using

Gotta get this corrected, someone else has a similar post they are experiencing the same issue, they just thought it was due to solo shuffle but it’s happening outside of that also

EDIT: I do not currently use any actionbar addon like Bartender or anything that has control over my actionbars, my actionbars are stock Blizzard bars

Something else happening with this…

When this occurs and the action bar gets stuck in whatever form it’s in, you can’t change abilities on it, if you open the spellbook and drag over a new ability, you DO hear it click in its location but the icon does not change…

it DOES actually make the change, it just doesn’t update the bar to show it until you of course reload the UI, then it shows all the changes you have made

Something is causing the action bars to “stick” in whatever form they stick in, the visual of them that is…the correct one DOES exist but the incorrect stuck version is showing until a UI reload happens

Now it’s just randomly happening when I am standing around playing with trying different talents out, not even mounting or dismounting.

When it happens, I notice the tooltips stop showing up when I hover over an ability on the actionbar, then I have to reload the UI to get the proper actionbar to show up, I start hovering over my abilities on the actionbar watching all the tooltips change then out of nowhere the tooltips stop showing up, any changes to the actionbar do not show up even though they do take place…then I reload UI and the proper action bar is there, changes, tooltips and all…then randomly, literally doing nothing but standing in place, it stops working AGAIN until a reload UI takes place

It’s happening when i change in and out of druid forms as well as hopping on dragon riding mount. I am a resto druid so all of my resto abilities show on the bars when i go bear or cat form instead of their respective form abilities. When i hop on a dragon riding mount it only shows my resto druid abilities instead of the dragon riding abilities. Only started happening today.

Reloading UI does not work. Logging off/Exiting the game does not work. Scanning and repairing files in the battle.net launch page does not work. Very frustrating.

May have solved this…

Pre-emptive assumption, but I turned off an add-on called “advanced interface options”, which was up to date, and it has not happened in the past 10 minutes of random things testing it since turning that add-on off, maybe it was something conflicting in it that just started

i dont have that addon

I’m having the same issues. If I do any world quest that replaces my action bar, or I mount on my dragonriding mount, my action bar gets stuck with whatever previous bar I had active. So, dragonriding, I’ll have my regular action bar. If I reload, I’ll get my dragonriding one, but as soon as I dismount and start attacking mobs, I’ll be stuck with my dragonriding action bar until I reload. SUPER frustrating.

I haen’t encountered the issue since I turned off the “Advanced Interface Options” addon…I think it made chagnes to the cvar and if you have an addon that does that it may be causing it also…perhaps…I don’t knw what could be causing your guys’ issues but so far mine seem to be rectified disabling a cvar mod addon

I’ve seen this same bug, but also see the bug where if my action bar is set to “1” it changes when I go into cat form (the keybinding is the same but the spells are differents), but on action bar set to “3” it doesn’t do that.
