Extended Action bar issues

Hi all,

I currently use Extended Action Bars to manage the separation of hotkeys between Knight/Priest and Knight/Mage, and for the additional action bars.

I have an issue that constantly bugs me that I can't seem to fix. Everytime I use COI, Acces smap, change zones, access any window, my action bars move up on my screen. Since I have a OCD way that my bars must be arranged, this bothers me a LOT. Most of the time my primary 'click' mostly buff action bar I use stuffs itself under my "status" bar (where I keep stuff that I need to keep an eye on Quantities, like Megas, portal runes, home sweet homes, and mounts). So, I have to move the status action bar out of the way, pull the two other bars back down and put the status action bar back. This is highly annoying. It even happens when I have no other add-ons installed/activated, so it's something with that addon, I think.

I play on Windows 7 with windowed mode. It happens in full screen, too. Any ideas?

I don't have a direct answer to your post, but 2 things. 1: I have found that Extended Action Bars drops your fps a LOT, so even thought I badly want more action bars...i find it not worth it. And 2: Get vAction Bar. It doesnt give extra bars, but it allows you to set up entire bars for every class combo and save them.

I use ExtendedActionBar and had no issues like what Jguy describes. The bars stay where I put them...

Contrary to regular action bars, ExtendedActionBar saves the settings in SaveVariables.lua - you don't have this file write protected or something? Hmm, but since you experience the problems live (without restarting the client) this would probably not be the issue.

2: Get vAction Bar. It doesnt give extra bars, but it allows you to set up entire bars for every class combo and save them
I guess, it does not indicate which buffs/pots are active? That's probably the nicest feature of ExtendedActionBar but probably also the reason it lags a bit (not so bad if you choose "not accurate" in the settings).

I have another issue with ExtendedActionBar, though. If I drag there a macro and then change the position of the macro in the window with grid of all macros (escape==main menu => macros => drag one macro icon to ExtendedActionBar and then drag the same original icon in the macros' dialog to a different position in this dialog), then ExtendedActionBar does not find the macro anymore. Does vActionBar have the same issues? Has anyone experienced this with ExtendedActionBar and maybe even has a fix for this issue?

Hm. Last night during siege war the bar actually stayed where I put it. All after that as well.

Seems to be random.

And I run Runes of Magic as Administrator...wonder if that might be causing issues /hmm.
