Why are my bars doing this?

[Spectrecles-lightnings-blade (Spectrecles)]

So this is only happening on my priest, I took a short video to show whats going on. But basically when I switch between specs, my abilities dont stay on the spot/hotkey I assigned them too. And when I switch back to the previous spec, I have to re-add my abilities again to my bars

There is a video of whats going on

The video only showed you switching specs once… and the first time you switch specs, you do need to place things back on the bars; that’s normal behavior. So, I’m just going to assume you know that and have done that, and the problem persists when you switch specs again.

There are some suggestions in this thread, from another user having similar issues:

Action Bars reset between spec changes

During pre-patch and even now when I switch between Resto and Boomkin the action bars update appropriately, but since I was leveling as Guardian, any time I change to resto to do a dungeon, my action bars are wiped of all resto related abilities and I have to put them back on the bar. Then when I go back to Guardian again, I have to re-add the Guardian abilities. This is getting quite annoying. Help appreciated.

Specifically, people reported success from this:

Action Bars reset between spec changes

Sanguini’s suggestion on this page seems to have worked for me: Quoted: Solution: Delete all existing loadouts. Create a new loadout for each spec you want to use. Highlight the loadout, and you’ll see a settings button. Click it. In this menu, select “Shared Action Bars”. Make sure you do this on all loadouts you’ve created and in each spec you care about. Try adding some SPEC (Not class) abilities on your current action bars. Then, switch specs to test out if they stick this time. Hope …
