    What version of Grid2 are you using? vr916

     

    What game client version (windows or mac) and language are you using ? windows

     

    What steps will reproduce the problem? enemy mob casting a spell

      
    Did you try having Grid2 as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled? yes

      

    Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one? havent checked, but dont think so.

      

    Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack). No error.

      

    Please provide any additional information below.

     

     If banzai spotted a hostile casts against a member and it gets interrupted, the cast doesn't stop, it keeps going all the way, especially noticeable on long casts, I interrupted a spell that is 5sec cast, and it kept going all the way through the 5sec on my grid, felt weird, I thought that I missed my interrupt, but I didn't according to my log, then I double checked on the issue and it turned out that the cast keeps going no matter what.

    Im assuming that you are speaking about classic version, in classic version blizzard decided to remove almost all info about spell casts, so the addons must use tricks and guest about the casts. And its not possible to reliably detect when a cast is interrupted, even the cast duration could be wrong (because blizzard removed the information about the rank of the casted spell too).

    It seems that for Blizzard a true classic experience means using no addons at all, the classic api is much more restricted than original vanilla api.

    Not for classic, its on retail, casts keep going on even if interrupted.

    Amazing this bug has almost ten years, it seems nobody uses banzai statuses, what a waste of time to code the status xd

    Very interesting. I am using Banzai statuses, but I haven't even thought about this before. Wow, good find.
