Having an odd issue I can attribute directly to Bison:

On all of my characters except my Horde Warlock, my FPS is fine. But on her, Bison drops my FPS by 20-30 points. Don't know what could cause that, but I'd be willing you help you figure it out.

Edit: Found it happening on my Alliance Rogue, as well. The common theme seems to be that the settings in them are completely ignored- Buttonfacade doesn't affect it, it's placement it's right on screen, nothing.

However, on my other characters, it works perfectly. I've tried deleting the relevant files in my WTF folder, with no change in performance.

Is there a way to attach the Debuffs dynamical to the next row of Buffs just like the standard UI does? To give an example: When I all my Buffs fit into my first row, Debuffs start at the second row. If I gain more Buffs and hence they grow into the second row, Debuffs are being moved to the third row and so on.

That would be awesome and the only thing I am missing from this addon!

Please use negativ values for horizontal and verticale spaces (see configuration pane).

The tooltips just show up when I have the cursor at the right bottom edge of the border. Which makes it really difficult to get them pop up. It is only a slight problem since the icons are there

What is wrong with the tooltips. On my installation all tooltips works well.

On my ToDo list:
right clicking to cancel buffs - the actionbutton and the reorder works not together [/b]

i've got an awesome idea for bison !.

the ability to colorize some specific buff border for more visiblity.

for example i want to see in my Bison Buff bar if i proc a certain buff, usually it's pretty hard to spot one among the tons of raid buff and most of the time you install another addon to do just that, but if bison could allow to colorize the border of certain buff it would make spotting them so much more easier.

and dont forget Buttonfacade support for the colorized border buff, use the "checked state" color for example.

I will implement a limit for buff on the update for patch 3.1.

Is there a way to get tooltips working on buffs/debuffs and right clicking to cancel buffs?
Or is it implemented and I am to stupid to make it work?

I totally agree 40 is way too many for most players
