Macros with #showtooltip and the ? icon do not display the spell icon when I first log onto my character. To get the spell icon to display on the toolbar, I have to hit escape, go to the macro menu option, and then select each and every macro I have. Only then does the spell icon replace the ? icon on my toolbars.
In case it’s relevant - this occurs on my horde mage character.
A sample macro for which this bug occurs is as follows:
#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/cast blink
I believe this is a known issue that has yet to be fixed.
As a workaround until it is fixed (with the way things are going in classic, I wouldn’t be holding my breath), a quicker way to make your icons display is to type /reload upon login.
Happens on my hunter as well- mine usually gets fixed though if I use the skill/macro in question.
I have been having the same issue, mousing over the icon fixes it sometimes. Sometimes it doesnt and I have to play for a while with ? buttons then mousing over them will fix them. Pretty annoying as almost all of my main skills are macros.

Funkin thing doesn’t work after how many years? LOL.
They ned a #ShowSpellIcon or something, since they can’t fix it.
It used to work.
Is there any other way to search icons for manual assignment? There are so many thousands, and it can take hours, and still never fine the correct one.
Maybe there’s an index, and a way to jump to that number, or display by number, like SpellID?
