Tooltip and clicking off unwanted buffs

I only have this problem with a large number of buffs while raiding. Once I reach a certain number of buffs (cannot remember how many) when I mouse over the ones closer to the top of the list I do not get a tooltip and I also cannot right click off an unwanted buff. I noticed this when in a raid group of 40 doing a "For The Alliance" run. I had Path of Frost up and was asked to turn it off. When I tried, I could not right click it off, nor could I see a tooltip. I could however do so with buffs that were lower in the list. I had to turn off buffs that I could control such as a well fed, a flask, etc. until the Path of Frost buff was low enough on the list to see the tooltip and only then could I right click it off.

I do not know if this is a known bug and adderssed elsewhere, if so, I apologise and could someone please direct me to the correct thread? I read through a fair number of posts in here, but when the title says "Two things..." or "I have a bug..." I feel like I am chasing a wild goose so to speak. Perhaps thread titles could be more specifically titled to reduce the amount of sifting to find what you are looking for.

Thank you

This is a case of the buffs being overlapped by an invisible window no doubt. You can use the '/nui maxauras {n}' command to limit how many auras are displayed. I use '/nui maxauras 15' for my characters that have pets and '/nui maxauras 20' for the rest.

The bigger question is to ask which window it was that was laying over top of your buffs but couldn't be seen.

This may make me sound like a noob, but do you have any suggestion on how to figure out which invisible window it might be in order to either disable it or move it? I have tried "/nui movers" but there is nothing enabled by that command in that area.

You can try using the following script...

Code:
/script print( GetMouseFocus():GetName() or "no name" );
Enter that script into the chat edit box but don't press enter, then place your mouse over the area you can't click and press Enter.
