Debuff tooltip

Is there a way to get tooltips on the player debuffs that are on the HUD. I would like to know what the effects of unknown debuffs are.

If tooltips aren't available, is there an alternative way to see the effects of a debuff?

Tooltips should be working on the player debuffs. Not sure why they aren't if you aren't seeing them.

A week ago I posted an explanation of why, along with a patch for it, here:

http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...1&postcount=12

The debuff icons on the HUD are SecureButtonTemplates. The code tries to enable/disable their mouse sensitivity during combat based on whether they currently display anything, which is forbidden.

The fix leaves them mouse-sensitive all the time, but turns the handler for mouse events on/off as appropriate, which is allowed.

I've been using the file I posted for about 10 days and it works just fine, for anyone who wants to avoid the problem.
