Manual paging seems to be broken if a bar has any less than 6 pages. It works fine if a bar has 6 pages. I set my first action bar to 5 pages instead of 6. When I set "Action Page 6" to "Disabled" under "Manual Paging", Bongos3 still seems to think page 6 still exists, and it mirrors page 1. I have mouse wheel down bound to "Previous Action Bar." When I'm on page 1 and scroll my mouse wheel down, I would expect to be on page 5. Instead, it takes me to what I'm assuming is page 6, which is now a mirror of page 1 when "Action Page 6" is set to "Disabled." I have to scroll my mouse wheel down once more to get to page 5.

Basically, when I set action bar 1 to have 5 pages, setting "Action Page 6" under "Manual Paging" to "Disabled" just does the exact same thing as setting "Action Page 6" to "Page 1."

Other people have mentioned this issue in this thread calling it things like "lag when scrolling pages." I hope this post helps to clarify what they were trying to say.

What does your right click menu look like for the bar that is not working?

Quote:

Just to reiterate, it scrolls erratically, sometimes one "click" of the mousewheel isn't enough for it to scroll and often you need 2 or 3. Also, it seems scrolling down is more "laggy" than up, but not in any predictable manner.
Disable the extra action bars in the blizzard portion of interface options.

Edit: after reload GUI the XP bar width is now correct. But it's still small bug and a bit frustrating.

The zone bar is also missed in bar settings. Only middle-click on zonebar can hide the bar function.
Noted.

Bartender

Lemme start off by just saying: GREAT UI! I have tried numerous UI's before this one, and this set up perfectly. The only thing I have to ask is: Being a warrior it's pretty impractical to change stances via clicking... which bar under Bartender3 do I need to hotkey to Shift-1 for Battle etc.?

Edit: I macro'd the stances to Shift+1-3 but when I was stance stancing in AV all of a sudden my right top bar copied over to my battle bar, and when I try to change my stance action bars, it copies the spells to the right side of the UI. Help? >_<

Double Edit: Fixed it all, great UI!!

A bug found.
The XP bar width is broken when i use profile from another char (i started for first time with bongos 3 (before bongos 2) thus i copied styles from another chars.
But XP bar width is still struck at long width (default setting) and in setting window for XP bar, i move width pointer, but nothing changed.

Only first char has correctly setted XP bar width, but next char with copied settings from first char has the problem.

Please fix the problem.

Edit: after reload GUI the XP bar width is now correct. But it's still small bug and a bit frustrating.

The zone bar is also missed in bar settings. Only middle-click on zonebar can hide the bar function.

Bongos2 and 3 are completely independent of each other, so there should be no issue when transitioning between them. I'm still at a loss as to why your issue is happening. Does it occur without bongos enabled?
I just downloaded the newest version (I had been using the gamma before),made a new character in a new server with only Bongos3 and Bongos3 Actionbar activated, and it still happens. It doesn't happen with the default actionbars though, nor does it happen with Bongos 2.

I use a logitec MX510 mouse if that helps at all.

Just to reiterate, it scrolls erratically, sometimes one "click" of the mousewheel isn't enough for it to scroll and often you need 2 or 3. Also, it seems scrolling down is more "laggy" than up, but not in any predictable manner.

		["cooldown"]= { w=44, h=44, fl=0, s=.7, },
		["hotkey"]	= { x=1, y=9, dl="OVERLAY", },
		["count"]	= { x=0, y=-8, dl="OVERLAY", },
		["bagicon"]	= { w=26, h=25, x=6, y=-6, },
		["autocast"]= { w=31, h=31, s=0.9, fl=0, },
		["autocastable"]= { w=62, h=61, y=-0.5 },
then i change

Code:
["hotkey"]	= { x=1, y=9, dl="OVERLAY", },
and in particular the x coordinate.
as far as the size go i fixed that with ClearFont2

Can you give me some advice where I'am able to modfiy this ?


Sorry for my english grammar.. don't use it often =)

Nice to see the improved update; keep plugging at it. In the meantime, I'm sticking with version 2.
A converter is not going to happen. It is not possible to represent everything that Bongos2 could do with Bongos3 due to the mirroring system Bongos2 uses.
