["xxx" has been blocked...] After X action

#0 - Dec. 7, 2006, 2:39 p.m.

This is my attempt at joining all of the threads having to do with "random addon x" being diabled when you:
* Try to duel someone.
* Disenchant from hotbar to bags.
* Turning on "Find Herbs"
* Trying to feed pet
* Trying to bandage
* Clicking on some buttons within non blizz addons
* /tar
* Riding mount in zones where you can fight things
* Casting arcane briliance
* Looting corpses

There seems to be no way to debug it, but it seems like a large amount of addons are suddenly using "protected" stuff when the player tries to do "x action". This happens with addons that have nothing to do with "x action".

These are usually caused by an addon hooking something they shouldn't be. The blocked addon event has an extra parameter which is the function that was blocked, and you can use debugstack() to get the stack trace of the blocked call, if you're an addon developer.
