WowAce

I have run into an issue with the extra action button not showing up in certain encounters.

For instance, being in Zerith Mortis, I am able to see the extra action button to spawn pocopoc. However, I ran a Tazavesh Streets m+ and I was unable to throw the suitcases in the Mailroom Mayhem fight or hit the musical notes in the Myza's Oasis fight because the extra action button did not show up at all.

It's interesting to note that when going into edit mode with Bartender on, an error comes up where Bartender is blocked to an action only available in blizzard's UI. Checking or unchecking the Extra Abilities option in edit mode does nothing.

Turning bartender off and going into edit mode shows the Extra Abilities box when you enable the option, though.

Here's the error I get when going to Edit Mode:

I am having an issue where the blizzard extra abilities bar isn't showing up when needed.  Ex Eye of Jailer fight. When I go to edit it it says "Bartender 4 had been blocked from an action only Available to the Blizzard Ui.  So I am not able to get clickable extra action bar.  Any ideas on a fix?   Also when I go to edit my ui in edit mode I can't even see the blizzard's extra abilities.

A workaround you can use until it is fixed is to keybind "Extra Action Button 1" in the action bar keybindings.

I have tested the Extra Action Button with Bartender and not found any problems.

However, an easier way would be to just disable the "Extra Action Bar" in Bartender, then reload your UI so its fully cleared, and then use Edit Mode to move it. Afterall, Bartender only moves it as well.

In fact, maybe I should flat out disable it in WoW 10.0, at least by default, and advise people to use Edit Mode to move it.

Ah I should have thought of doing that, that does clear the error up and makes edit mode work without any issues. The extra action button also shows up in relevant contexts from what I tested.

I would say that there's more to just moving it using bartender though. I would agree with you if blizzard's edit mode allowed scaling and alpha editing.

A separate addon that only changes its size and style or such and works within the confines of Edit Mode might be more appropriate there. It would be awkward for Bartender to try to re-scale the button but not otherwise take control over it.

That said I was also entirely unable to reproduce any issues with it. Both in combat or out of combat, the button both showed up and worked fine with Bartenders module enabled.

A reply to this: "In fact, maybe I should flat out disable it in WoW 10.0, at least by default, and advise people to use Edit Mode to move it."

One thing that Bartender do but Edit Mode doesn't is to hide the artwork. Would it be possible to add an option in Bartender to just hide the artwork from the Extra Ability bar and let Edit Mode take care of everything else?

The only stand-alone addon that does this that I can find is "Remove Extra Action Button Texture" by Vardex and it doesn't seem to be updated for 10.0.

Little followup on this: In order to see the EAB again, I need to enable it in the Bartender Options, reload the UI, then disable it again, then reload the UI again to make it work. And For some reason thats required on each character, though they are all using the same interface profiles.
