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.
Hey all,
Did anyone find a fix for this? Its just started doing it to me and it’s constant. PvP is a nightmare and it’s doing it out in the world too. I’m having to retarget the same mob/player multiple times in the one fight
This has happened to me for a month now. I’m a disc priest, and when I do M+ this is very annoying cuz that means I can’t top up my team during the fights, and someone can die just because of that 2 seconds. Has anyone gotten any solution for this? And blizzard, what is going on???
I’ve been having this issue too. It’s super frustrating and I cannot figure out what I am doing differently
Will we get an official answer at some point? My gameplay has been plagued by this issue. Imagine losing target during touch of the magi, schism or any critical buff moment… I don’t understand why this is still an issue, and it seems like it’s getting worse.
Sticky targeting does not work. I use my right click to move my camera and this keeps deselecting my target. Please Blizzard do something about this asap.
this is still happening wtf is wrong with this patch/expa?
This is still a massive issue! Dropping targets RANDOMLY when shadowdancing. IT IS SO FRUSTRATING. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE
no macros are being used.
no i am not changing targets
been playing on and off pvp since launch.
since DF this issue has been PERSISTING
EVEN WITH ADDONS DISABLED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It’s probably connected to the bug where autolooting doesn’t work, because those both popped up at the same time, and neither is fixed yet.

still no official answer to this??
same here disabled everything, using de default configuration of the game and still broken, is not the addons is the game
there is also something really weird, testing in the dummys area in dornogal, not even in combat, just selected a target lock the camera with the right button and estar moving the camera around randomly and you will lose target for no reason, it seems like something is causing to drop the right click and re click so if you mouse is hovering some random unit you will en up targeting that unit
BLIZZARD PLEASE HELP!!!
This has been happening to me since TWW first launched. It has become almost unplayable now. Trying to run M+ absolutely sucks. Losing target every 10-30 seconds is a nightmare Blizz doesn’t want to wake me from.
Clearly they have 0 care for the game or their base, or they’d have fixed it by now.
Okay, I thought I was going crazy and finally googled this to see if it’s a known issue because every in game friend I talk to has it happening also. Almost every time I’m in combat, my target will randomly drop or change to a party member. At first I thought I was clicking the ground or a party member, but I checked my key log and there were no stray tabs/left clicks. Please blizzard fix this! I’m a tank and this has gotten me and party wiped more than a few times in M+. This is the first expansion where I’ve ever had this issue.
Never saw this thread until now, but I’ve also been seeing this issue for quite awhile, at least since 11.0.5 but probably before that. My friend who mains hunter has also seen it a bunch.
The auto-loot issue has been occurring since at least Dragonflight’s season 2, although it was not nearly as pronounced then as it has become with TWW’s release. I don’t think their introduction is connected.
