Target randomly dropping in combat

Ever since TWW came out, sometimes in combat, my enemy target will randomly drop for no reason. This happens in both pve and pvp (and it’s definitely not shadowmeld).

Fresh install, ui reset, scan/repair, all the usual attempts to fix, and none of them work. I have the option for sticky targetting turned on. I’m not using any nameplate addons or any addons that would relate to targetting, and I double-checked all my macros to make sure they weren’t the problem.

I suspect that this may be related to the other bug many people are experiencing where autoloot oftentimes doesn’t work. It seems as if some of the in-game settings, such as autoloot and sticky targeting, get overlooked by the client randomly.

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes my target has been dropping more and more in TWW and its really starting to get aggravating on long boss fights when Im focused and dont notice.

And the autoloot hangup has been around for a while and got way worse in TWW.

This is also happening to me very frequently. I checked to see if sticky targeting had been deselected but it’s still checked. Very annoying.

I’m also having this problem.

I target, get off a spell, and suddenly no target. Sometimes I have difficulty re-targeting other times I can re-target and continue.

For a while it was very infrequent, now though it’s becomming frequent. Every day.

I’ve mostly been playing Evoker. And occasionally a spell just poofs. Even with the NPC still targeted. Cast and nothing happens but the spell is on cooldown. And yes, I’m in range. NPC still targeted…

okay I’m not alone on this thought I was going crazy…I’m constantly losing my target as well. I don’t hit ‘esc’ ever in combat and I have sticky targeting so I should never lose my target. I feel like MAYBE it has something to do with a stopcasting macro but that shouldn’t even be a thing. I’m thinking the solution would be to make a mouseover macro for each of my spells…that way If I lose the target I’ll reacquire it immediately

This happens to me so frequently that I thought it was a feature.

Losing it in Zekvir fight making it extremely annoying - when I target Egg Cocoon, I almost always lose it immediately.
