Action bars become non interactive after an hour of game play.

There was a hotfix April 3rd, and April 10th. Could those dates correspond to it happening?

Unfortunately the jumping did not solve my issue, farming session i just finished still had action bar lock ups

I first noticed the issue when allied races became available. I made a group of nightborne x5 not long after that patch that made them available. That team had the issue constantly while leveling via questing. they werent standing still afk farming, they were running around doing quests. It happened in every zone. I noticed it again recently when i made a group of monks, they made it all the way to 108 before it happened to them, it happened one time, the day i posted this and it hasnt happened since then. they are unable to use spells through any method. you cant press the actual hot key, you cant click on the ability on the action bar, you cant click on the ability in the spell book, you cannot use mounts either on the action bar or in the mount menu, you cant use hearth stones on the action bar or in the bag. the only thing you can do is log out and log back in other wise they will only follow, assist, and interact with target, nothing else.

shift+ctrl+alt+g and reload isboxer settings, does anything?
I've managed to lock out my main a few times, while slaves receive the mapped keys.
Usually happens when I am frantically swapping windows trying to save a wipe.
Above fixes it for me.

I believe this is what happened to me as well. But it seems like this is a separate issue from what the others are experiencing. This could be isBoxer related problem but fixing by logging out to character select screen feels like WoW related.

unfortunately the isboxer reload also does not seem to fix the issue, must be a wow specific thing

I dont have time to play these days to test myself. Just randomly thought maybe if we change the button from broadcasting from all, to roundrobin.. it will be less spammy on a account by account basis. Or even insert delays before moving to the next step. Goodluck testing.

Haha../tinfoil hat on... maybe its one of blizzards methods to locate potensial botters. As every so slowly..one account after the other gets "locked" = they get notified when that happens. If said player doesnt log out and in "soon" after that, something could be fishy. I would like to play to the stage when 1 or 2 gets locked and then try to ignore it, and play for some more hours. Just to see what/if anything happens (do even more accounts get locked etc?) as ive never seen more that 2 get locked during my playsessions.

If all fails in the end, say f.ex that the accounts get locked pretty soon after, i had this plan of extending my keymapping a loooooooot and try time it so every 2 hours, all will press the macro "/camp" for 40 secs or so to try log out. I only use dot spells so any already aggroed mobs will die fast and no new mobs can aggro after that. Then after awhile of /camp, they will press "enter" one time to get back into the game. And rince repeat. Time will show.

Hey I have the same issue with my action bars being unresponsive but other aspects workin fine. After a closer look I realized it had something to do with the Loot-A-Rang when I recently started doing standstill farms. Basically what happens is that when one of my characters uses the loot-a-rang but there's no lootable corpse nearby and I use the item again afterwards no button on the action bar works anymore. What worked for me was jumping and everything was ok but at some of the farms I do there is downtime and I don't like having my characters jumping every few seconds even if I introduce it as a toggle in my 1 button farm script (I use HKN).

Does anyone now how to add a delay of 3-3.5 seconds to the loot-a-rang button? This is my current script I use to alternate between the /tar+kill macro and the loot-a-rang:

<Hotkey ScrollLockOn Left, Up, 1>
 <Toggle> <SendLabel w0, w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8, w9> <Key 1> <Cancel>
 <Toggle> <SendLabel w0, w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8, w9> <Key 1> <Cancel>
 <Toggle> <SendLabel w0, w1, w2, w3, w4, w5, w6, w7, w8, w9> <Key 1> <Cancel>
 <Toggle> <SendLabel w0, w1, w2, w6, w7, w8, w9> <Key 2> <Cancel>

1 is /tar+kill macro and 2 is Fetch for my hunters
1 is loot-a-rang for my monks

Interesting find. Though i have my characters usage of the loot a rang spaced out a bit: after 10 spellcasts toon 1 tries to loot, 10 more toon 2 tries to loot etc. This way there is less issues of one potensially getting stuck. Every mob that i kill drops something btw. Also, jumping doesnt fix my stuck actionbars. I have to log out and back in on the affected toon.

Ok so i farmed a lot today, the actionbars didnt hang up a single time. I didnt do anything new. Very odd indeed...but also nice. Update: a second farmday, no hangups this day either.
