Showtooltip not working in macros

So I’m having this issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered it or knows how to fix it. I use a bunch of mod/nomod macros and when I press the mod key, the macro displays the mouseover tooltip correctly, and will show the cooldown swipe for the correct spell, however, the icon doesn’t change. It always shows whichever spell is at the top of the macro.

I’ve made a number of macros, mostly really simple ones like:

#showtooltip
/use [nomod] Wing Buffet
/use [mod] Tail Swipe

I use some known/noknown and some @ player as well. But even the really simple ones are affected. I am using the question mark icon for the macros, so that’s not the issue. Slash reload doesn’t fix it. A full relog doesn’t fix it. Have repeatedly checked syntax on all my macros. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Edit: Okay, so I fixed the issue, but it’s definitely a bug. For some unknown reason, almost all of my macros had changed from the red question mark to whatever icon was the top of the macro without my making any choice to do so. To fix it, I went in to each affected macro and manually changed them all back to the red question mark and saved them.

This helped me out today, thank you! I was focusing on the macro itself, as I had not changed the actual icon from the “?”. That said, it had definitely been changed to one of the spells in the macro. Thanks for mentioning it.
