Esc key tainted by addons...

wellbeing · 09-18-11, 02:36 PM

I've noticed that some of the addons I use disable my ability to use the ESC key to perform normal blizzard actions. (ie: clear target, bring up game menu)

Now my own addon is doing it and I'd like to know why. A search on the forum for 'esc key', 'escape key' and 'esc' brought up a total of 3 posts, none of which address this issue.

Anyone know wtf this is all about?

To start diagnosing taint issues, turn taint logging on.

/console taintLog 1

This will persist relogs/exits until you turn it off again.

When you have a taint.log in World of Warcraft/Logs we'll have more data to reach a conclusion.

Well, firstly, I am receiving no indication error for a taint, so I doubted I would get any results. This must not be a 'taint' as is defined by blizz, so perhaps i shouldve titled the post: 'Esc key broken by addons...'

Being a sport, I turned on logging anyway. Nothing logged.

After this clarification, any new support would be greatly appreciated.

Try disabling your addons by halvsies to see which is causing it?

All are off cept mine.

Mine is a culprit, though certainly not the only one. I want to make it stop.

lol.

It probably has something to do with my displayed frame...??

I'm not able to get the following code to work:

Code:

gaFrame:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self) self:Hide() end)

error: gaFrame doesn't have a "OnEscapePressed" script

do I need to do something obvious to get this to work right?
