set focus bugged??

[barbol12]

hey guys.. i just got done making my oUF frames.... and seem to be having a trouble with 1 thing... i cant set focus on anything... my focus frame will not work, at all. it comes up with that window, saying this action has been blocked due to the blizzard UI, blah blah, or something like that . is it just me or other ppl having this same problem.

This is an issue with so to say all unit frame add-ons. We can't reliably recreate the menus with the secure environment, rendering us unable to do things such as SetFocus().

The "solution" is to use /focus.

To make life a little easier, I'm using this

-- set/clear focus with shift + left click
    local ModKey = 'Shift'
    local MouseButton = 1
    local key = ModKey .. '-type' .. (MouseButton or '')
	if(self.unit == 'focus') then
		self:SetAttribute(key, 'macro')
		self:SetAttribute('macrotext', '/clearfocus')
	else
		self:SetAttribute(key, 'focus')
	end

and this

-- remove SET_FOCUS & CLEAR_FOCUS from menu, to prevent errors
do 
    for k,v in pairs(UnitPopupMenus) do
        for x,y in pairs(UnitPopupMenus[k]) do
            if y == "SET_FOCUS" then
                table.remove(UnitPopupMenus[k],x)
            elseif y == "CLEAR_FOCUS" then
                table.remove(UnitPopupMenus[k],x)
            end
        end
    end
end
