Yes, and none of this requires repeatedly scanning the quest log, considering absolutely nothing changes without an event firing. You can either believe me or not, I'm not going to continue trying to convince you.

Whether or not Lightheaded should be doing something different, or Quest Helper should be doing something different I can't tell right now as I didn't dive into the code. I would think though, the light headed being a mod that only runs when the quest log is open, vs a mod that is running all the time ... that light headed should change.

This just doesn't make sense to me. LightHeaded needs some way to know that you've selected a new quest. The _ONLY_ reliable way to do this is via the SelectQuestLogEntry() function. I'm not particularly sure why you're fighting me on this, but QuestHelper calls SelectQuestLogEntry in an OnUpdate function, which is causing the issue. There is absolutely and 0 way for me to "fix" this problem, whether you like that or not.

I have already disabled lightheaded cause Quest helper is what I consider an essential mod for question ... and lightheaded functionality I can get from alt-tabbing. I would like to not have to alt tab ... but based upon that comment, that is my only choice.

Or you could do what I said, and talk to the author of QuestHelper to get the issue resolved. The quest log scanning that is being done is absolutely unnecessary and there is no way to work around it.

Not trying to advertise another site or mod, just wanted to make sure you could find / download the mod to help debug.

Now, a week or so later, the problem came back again. This time it WAS removing Armory that fixed it.

I had to play my regularly scheduled Friday night game without Armory so I could use Lightheaded, and also because of another problem that always seems to happen when I have the Lightheaded paging problem: opening the Quest Log causes my screen frame rate to go down to 1 fps, and the selected quest in the log won't stay selected... it will change after a second or two to another specific quest. When I close the quest log, the frame rate goes back to normal.
Anyway, this morning I was going to load Armory and run the macro you told Maleren about. But now... IT'S WORKING GOOD!!! None of any of the problems I mentioned are apparent at this time! Very strange.

I ran the script anyway, and it doesn't output anything unless I click on something. I guess that is the way it is supposed to work.

If the problem comes back, I'll run that script again and let you know.

Unfortunately Armory does some really nasty thing with the quest log and until they stop doing that there isn't all that much I can do =(.

It's another addon. In that screenshot it's Gazmik Fizzwidget's Levelator, specifically.

Re: Seperating quest log from description?

I'm guilty of not having read through all the comments here, but if anyone has time to answer my question it will be appreciated.

As shown on the the screenshots it's possible to seperate the quest log from the quest description, but I haven't figured out how to manage that.

As I have it now the quest log is above the quest description making me scroll through the quests to find the one I want.

I'd like the quest log to be on one page, the description on another and the comments from wowhead next to the description.

Anyone know how I can get this done?

Ylien

As stated in the addon description, this is accomplished using DoubleWide, another addon available here. LightHeaded without it just looks silly, hence why my screenshots are taken like that.

Thank you.

Well, here's the deal. Does it work properly when you have only LightHeaded enabled? Run the following macro, which may help us figure out what is going on:

/run local old=SelectQuestLogEntry; function SelectQuestLogEntry(...) ChatFrame1:AddMessage(debugstack()) return old(...) end

That should print a chat message every time something calls that function. Could you get me some prints of that happening that isn't a direct result of you clicking? That may help me figure it out.

Then you aren't using the latest update from LightHeaded. I'm sorry to be so stubborn, but people have downloaded LightHeaded over two million times and this issue just isn't one that people have.

The ONLY reason LightHeaded would go to a different quest is because you have another addon that is interfering with the stock API.

Thanks.

Edit: Actually, there have been reports of other AddOns causing this paging problem with LightHeaded. My report was that it was CarbonQuests. I also have seen several times the selected quest switching problem mentioned by Maleran. Anyway, it started doing it again for me last night, and I have not been using CarbonQuests for a long time. I am not sure, but it may have been EquipCompare that was doing it this time; maybe all along. It may be intermittent, but shortly after removing EquipCompare (since Armory has that function built in now) I noticed that LightHeaded page scrolling was working again.

Some folks have asked for how they can donate money, and for many years I've enjoyed hearing about how my addons have helped other people enjoy World of Warcraft. If you would like to donate, I'd ask you to make a donation to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, a worthy organisation that helped my sister immensely from her diagnosis through her final years. If you or a family member suspect you might have something not right in your butt, please have a doctor check it out. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in the world.
