While Renaming - Sometimes text highlights while typing

[amiyuy]

Describe the bug Sometimes while renaming auras the text will highlight everything while I am typing. It stops happening after about 30 seconds, but happens consistently during those 30 seconds.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ???
2. Edit, copy, duplicate, delete auras for awhile
3. Rename an aura
4. Type and the text will be highlighted without your choosing to do so

Expected behavior Text should not highlight without my choosing to do so.

At no point did I press Shift other than to capitalize letters nor did I press Ctrl+A.

highlight+typing = clearing the field

The highlighting and clearing only occurs when I type a character, but that character does not show up, instead the field is highlighted or cleared.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled? Addons enabled:

• Bartender4
• BugGrabber
• BugSack
• Can I Mog It?
• idTip
• SharedMedia
• WeakAuras

Which version of WeakAuras are you using? 8.0-beta9

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one? BFA Beta - but have seen on Live over time

Additional context Working with updating this set: https://wago.io/AmiYuy-Hunter-ActiveBuffs

Had it happen again with all other addons disabled and only happened once rather than repeatedly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/39kb1329rklv4if/World%20Of%20Warcraft%202018.07.13%20-%2013.17.12.02.DVR-Cut.mp4?dl=0

I was trying to add "Talent15-" in between "MM-" and "Serpent Sting".

Happened again with first aura I touched after login, you can see everything I did since the loading screen ended: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7l6k2luips84wu/World%20Of%20Warcraft%202018.07.13%20-%2017.03.46.04.DVR_Cut.mp4?dl=0

This time Bartender4 and idTip were on.

So @emptyrivers can't reproduce that, and looking at the code I have no clue at all how that can happen.

We can try debugging it though, you need to edit AceGUIWidget-WeakAurasDisplayButton.lua in WeakAurasOptions\AceGUI-Widgets for that.

Search for function self.callbacks.OnRenameClick(), and add these two lines here:

print("#########"); print(debugstack());

Every time you start renaming that should output the callstack, which is normal. But apparently that function gets called from somewhere while you are editing, which then selects everything.

I did try a clean Saved Variables file on Beta after Buds suggested it, but at that point I was almost entirely done renaming, so I can't say for certain that it would never happen just from refreshing the Saved Variables.

After trying to get it happen myself yesterday with the old Saved Variables, but I can't make it happen again. Must have been some other program, pending updating or something on my computer. I wasn't having problems in text editors or forms though.

I'll keep the debug print in my Live install for awhile in case it happens again, but for now I can't reproduce.

Right do comment when you see it again. It should not depend on anything in your auras at all. So.
