Subject: You killed $parent?
   In every instance of $parent where the frame (buttons are fine) inherits another frame, $parent will now return UIParent instead of the true parent frame. I've seen a few AddOns do this now.

The breakages after patches are becoming a little ridiculous. One wonders if Blizzard even uses that test server or whether it's just faux.

   Can you post a minimal example that has this problem? The default UI uses $parent quite a bit, and doesn't have any problems.

Q u o t e:


<Frame name="AceGUIBorderFrameTemplate" parent="UIParent" virtual="true">



This is key here. The code was changed to allow virtual frames to define a parent. You've defined the parent to be UIParent. So... when $parent is evaluated, you're actually getting UIParent in the name.
