Now Bison use the same method like other addons by hijacking the Blizzard buff and debuff elements. So the cancel buff works well on these version.
I loved the addon SurgeTrack, but its dead. So I start my own surge bar :). I can not play all classes, so I inserted a limited count of temporary buffs. Blizzard show some of these as auras around the avatar. You can enable the spell id's on the buff bar, to find the id's of missing buffs (I need your help).
knowing addons with modules hiding buff frames
You should deactive the option for hiding Blizzard Buff/Debuff frames.
- Pitbull4 - Module "Hide Blizzard frames" (option 'Buff/Debuff')
- X-Perl - Module "Player Buffs" (folder 'Player' subframe 'Player Buffs' on top right)
- ShadowedUnitFrames - Module "Hide Blizzard" (option "hide buff frames", at last "/console reloadui")
first is the inability to scale the time along with the scale of the icons...so when i set the scale of my icons to 75% the time stays at 100% so the timers half sit inside the icon...no matter what sliders i mess with i cant change it
also there is only the ability to use blizzard timers instead of old bison where i could use the bison timer or the blizzard timers
another thing is when moving the unlocked buttons around...then tend to jump around while moving them...not sure whats causing this
i hope by the time cata hits in a couple weeks Bison is back to what it was before 4.0.1
Ever since the 2.2.0 release (only version I did not try was 2.2.2), the icons are way bigger than before, and I got some issues while trying to fix that:
- I use buffs at 80% scaling, while debuffs are at 90%. Both look now like they looked at 100% with 2.1.10.
- Changing the scale to say, 60%, makes the timer be half inside the icon, therefore unreadable. When this happens, trying to change the timer's position does nothing (but it works normally otherwise).
- The spacing (both vertical and horizontal) on both buffs and debuffs is not honoring the settings. Vertically it seems more distant than before, and horizontally the icons are all connected to each other (as if you'd set horizontal spacing to 0).
I tried to remove debuffs on the 2.2.1-release version but instead of a box with copy past cancelaura I get a "Bison has been blocked from a action only available to Blizzard UI etc"
So Dark square with only timers,
and when i try to cancel a buff, it asks me if i want to disabled the addon...
It worked fine before 4.0.3.

For example 1 hour buff hung, but the timer would show only when the buff expires after 5min. That there were no timers on long bafah.
