An action was blocked because of taint from BasicMinimap - Search() about basicminimap

Have you customized the "clicks" functionality? Are you using minimap clicks other than just left click?

[klingo]

Yes, I changed some of the settings, and sometimes use it to change tracking or open the calendar with the right/middle mouse button:

Does opening the calendar and tracking with those clicks before using LFG allow you to reproduce the issue 100%?

[klingo]

Yes, but only when opening the tracking menu. Once I do that, the issue is 100% reproducible. No need to actually select anything, just opening the tracking menu is sufficient.
Opening the calendar works fine and does not cause any taint.

Oh, just noticed a second issue, which I think is the same (or very similary) as originally reported in issue #68 .

10/31 00:23:49.996  An action was blocked because of taint from BasicMinimap - GuildControlSetRank()
10/31 00:23:49.996      Interface_Wrath\FrameXML\FriendsFrame_Wrath.lua:487 GuildControlPopupFrameDropDownButton_ClickedRank()
10/31 00:23:49.996      Interface_Wrath\FrameXML\FriendsFrame_Wrath.lua:239 GuildControlPopupFrame_Initialize()
10/31 00:23:49.996      Interface_Wrath\FrameXML\FriendsFrame_Wrath.lua:156 FriendsFrame_OnEvent()
10/31 00:23:49.996      FriendsFrame:OnEvent()
10/31 00:23:49.996      SetGuildRosterShowOffline()
10/31 00:23:49.996      GuildFrameLFGButton:OnClick()

I can also 100% reproduce this by following these steps:

• Define a "click" to open the tracking menu in BasicMinimap
• Do that click to open the tracking menu (no need to select anything)
• Open the "Guild" tab and toggle the "Show Offline Members" checkbox (does not matter if on->off, or off->on)

Managed to get some more details on the issue by disabling all addons except BasicMinimap:

Hm, I just learned that this apparently is caused by a bug on Blizzard side that has not been fixed in over three years now :/
--> Stanzilla/WoWUIBugs#4

[funkydude]

Thanks. I appreciate all the info but no more is needed lol.
The fix for this is re-creating a custom tracking menu, which will take some time.
Until then, you can resolve this issue by typing /reload when it occurs.

Maybe https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24408-LibUIDropDownMenu.html would help? According to the description this lib aims to avoid taints while still providing the UIDropDownMenu features.
