    Status: Not a Bug
    I'm getting these errors, and SCT isn't scrolling anything. These are occuring as I fight mobs:

    This is with a character who had an existing profile. I opened /sct (which worked fine) and Reset to defaults, but the errors continued.

    I'm going to have to revert back to the last version prior, because I need SCT. :) Hope this error report is good enough, but if you'd like me to test anything else, I'll save a copy of the beta to return to it if you need me to.

    Never mind... I feel like an idiot.

    Normally, one can drop an updated mod into the folder while at the CharSelect screen, but in this case, you added a new LUA file which describes that global variable... and WoW won't load a new file, only ones with the same names as the prior ones. Sigh.

    I apologize; so far, everything is working great. I'll keep testing the beta.

    No Problem =) Glad you figured it out!
