UI Edit Mode Resetting Other Bars

Whenever you go in Edit Mode and start moving the action bars, it causes the other bars (i.e. cast bar, encounter bar, pet bar, vehicle exit button, etc.) to reset and go behind the action bars.

This is an incredibly frustrating bug that is happening to me as well, so I can’t move my cast bars into preferred positions. It’s such a glaring bug, I don’t know why there isn’t more action in this thread!

I think this issue has something to do with how the UI handles the interaction of the central UI elements (stance bar, pet bar, cast bar, encounter bar, etc.). In edit mode, these central elements are all stacked vertically, but the way they behave while playing the game is that they adjust contextually as elements appear and disappear: the action bars staying stationary, but anything above them appears and disappears as necessary, with each element adjusting it’s vertical position relative to each other when new elements are added. For example, if an encounter causes a new button to appear, the cast bar dynamically adjusts it’s position. However, in edit mode, moving the cast bars causes the other central elements to “reset” their position as the OP said, and if you move any of these central elements to try to get them back where they need to be, it breaks the normal contextual adjustment behavior for that element and it’s permanently where you moved it to.

So frustrating. Edit mode is great but this makes it tricky for example, to drag around Bar 3 or Bar 2 without pet bar and cast bar to collapse onto Bar 1, throwing everything out of alignment and moving certain bars around causing the way they work dynamically to break.

Wow this is STILL a problem? It’s almost like they should just leave this stuff to the actual UI addon developers because this is kinda garbage lol.

Same bug happening to me as well. Incredibly frustrating.

Also encountered a bug where changing the stance bar location makes the cast bar, encounter bar, extra ability bar and head speaking bar all move by themselves, going behind my main ability bars.

The new UI feature is amazing but there is still a lot of work and refinement to do. It does have multiple glitches already documented.

No update on a fix for this Blizz!?!

I enjoy the ability to move everything around, but this bug that auto moves the other bars when I’m moving just one bar needs to get fixed. I can’t use the Blizz edit mode because of this bug.
