Posting for Elkano of the EU community:
Q u o t e:
Hello slouken,
Would it be possible to 'fix' SetItemRef to also show the static tooltip if shift is pressed but the chat editbox isn't shown?
ATM, you branch if shift is pressed and then again if the editbox is visible. This results in not being able to open static tooltips via SetItemRef from within an addon by eg shift-clicking an item button.
Only alt-click stays as an option until you add aditional functionality that uses alt-click as you did with ctrl-clicking for the dressing room.
Using shift-clicking to show the static tooltip to yourself if the chat editbox isn't shown would keep alt-clicking free for sth that hasn't to do with showing tooltips (since shift-clicking with the chat editbox open results in showing tooltips to other people).
I know that it would be possible to simply copy the code that SetItemRef uses in order to show the static tooltip but this would result in other addons not correctly hooking it since they normaly don't hook the ItemRefTooltip's functions but SetItemRef instead.
I hope you could follow what I tried to explain and are able to give possitive feedback on this.

Q u o t e:
Hello slouken
When using LeaveChannelByName() as a reaction to PLAYER_LOGOUT one would expect that the channel isn't joined on the next login. But the channel can still be found in chat-cache.txt and thus IS joined on login.
Is my expectation wrt this wrong or is it a bug within WoW?

Q u o t e:
Hi slouken.
When a player is afk and has checked the 'autoclear afk' settings, chat messages sent by the client will also clear the afk flag.
But if the chat message was generated by an addon, the client will directly reset the afk flag if it was set as a result of no userinput over a period of time.
Would it be possible that having 'autoclear afk' checked will only uncheck your afk flag if there was any direct userinput but not if there eg only was a chat message generated by an addon sent?

Possibly. Lots of places would have to be touched to do this. Shift-click on any item reference is defined as paste-into-chat, and if there's no chat, that function cannot be done.

That's right, LeaveChannelByName() sends a request to the server to leave the channel, which obviously can't be done once you've logged out. It's possible to detect this case and remove the entry locally, but that would be a really low priority fix. :)

Not easily. The chat messages all come from the same source - the Lua scripting environment. Whether or not to clear the AFK flag would have to be a parameter to the function that sent the chat message. Again, this would be a really low priority change.
