SinStats is an advanced stats addon made for Classic, Wrath of the Lich King Classic and Dragonflight that displays a large range of stats updated in real-time on a highly customizable frame that can be placed anywhere on your screen.
Since 3.4.1 some of the old style scanning tooltips cause issues with default game tooltips that are on a perpetually refreshing timer (examples: temporary weapon enchant tooltips for rogue:poison/shaman:imbues/warlock:spellstones, items with a temporary tradeable timer, buff tooltips etc)
A scanning tooltip parented to UIParent or with UIParent as its owner causes artifacts on those kinds of tooltips: misaligned text, blank or expanding text.
The more often scanTooltip:Set is called the more pronounced the effect.
The way to solve this is to avoid creating the scanning tooltip with a UIParent parent and SetOwner to WorldFrame instead.
The relevant changes to SinStats are:
SinStats\Stats\Wrath\Misc.lua:8 to
local repairTooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "SinStatsTooltip", nil, "GameTooltipTemplate")
repairTooltip:SetOwner(WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE")
and
SinStats\Stats\Classic\Misc.lua:8 to
local repairTooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "SinStatsTooltipClassic", nil, "GameTooltipTemplate")
repairTooltip:SetOwner(WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE")
This will keep the scanning tooltips working without causing artifacts to refreshing default game tooltips.
