Before 11.1 came out, all those buttons would open facing upwards but ever since the patch came out, they all open sideways to the left. I assume it’s a bug because it was not like this before Tuesday.
Interesting! Mine used to always open to the left, now they open upwards.

I’m on the other side. Mine used to open to the left, and now they too, open upwards.
What the heck is going on? I tried moving the action bar, reload ui, adding and removing the spells. Nothing fixes it. Really weird bug.

A little bit of testing on my end makes me think it might depend on which action bar you are using. My action bars 4 and 5 are defaulting toward the left. Action bars 2, 3, 6, and 8 all open upward.
I can confirm this, moving my spell from bar 5 to bar 8 changes the orientation.
I don’t mind having to re-arrange my spells, but that was definitely a surprise!
All the action bars have their fly-out menus locked to a specific direction and are messed up in this regard.
- multi-choice/variant abilities and spells on bars 1-3 will only open horizontally upwards regardless of bar orientation or position.
- multi-choice/variant abilities and spells on bars 4 & 5 will only open Horizontally to the Left regardless of the bar’s orientation or position on screen.
- multi-choice/variant abilities and spells on bars 6-8 will only open horizontally upwards regardless of bar orientation or position.
Any abilities with fly out selection lists can literally not function depending on where you put which bar on your screen because of this.
Example: if you put Portal/Teleport on Bar 4 or 5 and stick that bar Vertically on the left side of your screen, the selection list opens horizontally to the left off screen, meaning you physically cannot pick an option.
Same applies if any such ability is put on bars 1-3 or 6-8 at the top of the screen, because the fly out selection menu will open vertically off the top edge of the screen.
Same here. Mine were set to open from the right (as they are in my left sidebar, now they open to the left & I cannot use them unless I put them into my bottom toolbars. As well, when I put my Teleport icon into my bottom toolbar so I could use it, it then disappeared after I did so. When I went into my spellbook to put it back, I got a message that it was in a toolbar already, but under a different stance. Since when do Mages have stances???
Mine were in toolbar 4 (I only use 4 of them) so I can confirm that Mage Teleport & Portal flyouts open to the left (off the screen completely in my case) in bar 4.
Except mine have opened to the right ever since the new UI was put in place (& prior to that when I put a bar there via CT Mod). My bar 4 is vertical on the left side as it’s easier for a filthy clicker like me to heal, rez & de-whatever others in my party that way.
Haven’t logged into a lock or shaman yet, but seeing your title, I’m just gonna say, “Blizz, you broke our flyout toolbars, please fix them!”
Mine are also on the left side for bar 4. Used for semi-regular things like pet stuff, teleport/portals and my various hearthstones.
Not using any action bar add-ons. Bars 4 and 5 will only open them to the left for any of my characters. Before, they’d open to the appropriate direction to be usable dynamically based on which screen edge I had the bar. It’s only after 11.1 that that direction seems to be locked for the specific bars no matter where the bar itself is.
As a work around, I had to swap Bar 4 for bar 6, move everything to it, then disable bars 4 and 5. Granted 6 will only open them upwards, but at least I can access the things in the selection now without them opening up off screen and unreachable.
