I don't think it's quite the same kindof UI mix-up that happened when i21 hit, but it's pretty bad. It's faster to wdw_load my UI and fix those errors instead of fixing the errors I'm getting when I zone. |

I was planning to upload some screenshots, but haven't had a chance to do so. I should be able to upload them later today or tomorrow, along with some specifics.|

Are you using a wdw.txt file saved from before Issue 22? Have you tried rearranging the UI to your liking, then saving a new wdw.txt file? Using /wdwsave and /wdwload should give you the same results as loading and saving window settings files in your Options window. If they are not, then that is a bug. |
I prefer to use the slash commands , but I did also test this from the Options menu, and noticed nothing different.

Seems like every patch now (and sometimes sooner) this happens. Again, reloading the saved window settings usually fixes it, but it's widely enough known (reading/chatting off and on) I would think by now.

Anybody have any thoughts or comments on how to fix the zoning issue, or some work-arounds to get my custom interface to load without need of tinkering?
