Yea, I just checked the version and it's 0.1.3, the most recent release. Maybe it's a conflict with Carbonite Quest, since it does have an option to mod some of the default Blizz bars. But then again, your bars ARE the default bars, so I guess that's a no-go. I'm not using any other mod that would interfere with the action bars themselves. Well maybe MoveAnything? The only thing I use that for is to move the default unit frames, but it DOES have an option to move/scale the default action bars. However, I still don't see how these addons would affect the bars not "switching" back to default from the vehicle interface? /shrug
Hm, don't think so... the only thing that might be is that moveanything changes something at the bar per load. I know that the bug can be caused if something is changed at the micromenubar. That was the bug in the early versions of thekBar.

I will try Moveanything to see if there is a conflict.

-- update --

ok, if i change anything in the ui ( like moving the unitframes ) with moveanything i got an error in my taintlog.

Maybe you can do one thing for me:
(1) type /console taintLog 1 when you're ingame
(2) enter a vehicle
(3) drive around ^^
(4) leave the vehicle
(5) quit wow an take a look in the file YOURWOWDIR\Logs\taint.txt

i hope there is something an we will see what it is that blocks my addon.

another thing i found is in the comments of moveanything on wowinterface. looks like there is a workaround with the vehicle frame.

-- update 2 --
tested a lot of things last night, and i don't get it. i will rewrite some parts of the addon this day to remove some possible errorreasons. Maybe it's a combination of addons, i don't know.

will update the addon tonight, so i hope this will fix it for you

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet with looking into the taint logs. College owns me right now lol. I'll be able to delve into it tomorrow night, and we'll see what happens with that. Thanks a lot for the speedy replies and updates.

Never mind!

I heard from friends of mine that they got the bug sometimes when there is a spell on cooldown at the vehicle bar and you leave the vehicle with hidden stancebar. So i will recode the stancebar toggle function in my addon. i hope this is the solution for this one.

No, that's ok you can take code lines when you find something useful for you.

Wanted to say that I really like this mod, although I was a bit turned off by the gryphons since my setup of my UI has the chat boxes running next to the actionbar, and those gryphons cover up most of the chat.
While I do see that you will try to implement the ability to toggle them on or off. I went ahead and added a quick fix until such time you have added them.

All I really did was add two lines into the hide function at the beginning of the core.lua file. See below for changes.

Code:
--[[

	textures, frames ... all the things we need to hide,

	show, overwrite, save and so on.

--]]

local To_Hide = {
	"MainMenuBarTexture2",
	"MainMenuBarTexture3",
	"MainMenuBarPageNumber",
	"ActionBarUpButton", 
	"ActionBarDownButton",
	"MainMenuXPBarTexture0", 
	"MainMenuXPBarTexture3",
	"MainMenuMaxLevelBar0", 
	"MainMenuMaxLevelBar3",
	"MainMenuBarBackpackButton",
	"CharacterBag0Slot",
	"CharacterBag1Slot",
	"CharacterBag2Slot",
	"CharacterBag3Slot",
	"MainMenuBarLeftEndCap",
	"MainMenuBarRightEndCap",	
};
"MainMenuBarLeftEndCap", "MainMenuBarRightEndCap" is what I added.
While this permanently hides them, I'm sure you'll want to add the toggle ability. But this could be a quick fix for other users in the meantime.

small issues

anytime vehicle ui is up and the vehicle is destroyed the actionbars 1) dont come back, 2) come back but half off the screen, or 3) come back with the bars all stacked on top of eachother. I have no idea how to gather more helpful info for you but if you let me know il make an attempt at it

You can define a hotkey in blizzards keybinding menu to toggle between the short and the default bar. (Screenshot) The other way is to use the slash command /tbar toggle to switch between short/default bar.

This is the thekBar way ^^ - there are no plans to show your bags / menu when you switch to the short bar - makes no sense for me.

Great! A big bug remains though

I'm a really big fan of this addon, great work! It's simple, easy to use, and it feels like something that is standard in the WoW interface. I'd just like to inform you that since the last patch, there is a mayor bug. I get a lua error about the xp2do on some characters. And after this error, the /tbar command no longer works so I can't adjust settings anymore. Deleting the saved variables works but after a while it just happens again (I think upon gaining xp). So, if you could please fix this...

Thanks alot for the great addon!
