Strange quest tracker refresh bug

I have seen several reports now concerning a refresh problem with the MobMap quest tracker. The problem consists of the tracker not updating automatically whenever a quest target status changes. It is of course intended to update automatically and does so on any test systems I could get my hands on. Therefore I need more information about this bug:

- What addons do you have loaded besides MobMap?
- Is the log updating correctly when you accept a new quest?
- Does the problem persist even if you temporarily deactivate all addons besides MobMap?

If you suffer from this bug I'd be happy if you could drop a message in the comments :)

    I'm not sure if this is the exact problem but i cannot shrink/expand quest zone areas (dragonblight is permanently open) but i can shrink the whole quest tracker window using the upper right white triangle button.

    I use fubar, deadly boss mods, auctioneer, gatherer, cartographer, tomtom (which is broken right now), clique, recount, skillet, totemtimers, and i have tour guide but it is disabled.

    i noticed that when i had the quest tracker expanded, my FPS would drop from 60 (vert sync on, normally i could get 150) down to 20 FPS, if i minimize it, they go back to normal.

    i doubt it has to do with my other add-ons but i will test it once the realms are back up and i can use my character.

    As i wrote yesterday the tracker works fine for two of my chars (level 79 and 80)
    I played around a bit with my level 33 hunter. here the first result. (still trying to
    find more debug information for you). All addons deactivated as you can see below (except Swatter for easy debugging)
    high level chars have a lot of addons activated and no probs at all. level 33 char problems with and without addons.
    maybe something wrong in the wtf folder for this char????

    Description:
    - Questtracker loaded.
    - Filled with Quests
    - Cannont open or close Region Settings
    - Wrong display of Map Target Data from Tracker
    - Tracker not updating while taking quest or quit quest

    I just activated the "mobmap_display_database_loading_info" variable in mobmap.lua (wtf folder) and it displayed that the following databases have been dynamically loaded.
    - mob name
    - item tooltip
    - item name
    - quest database
    - position database
    - drop chance
    - pickup (43 kb)
    - pickup (512 kb)

    Some more Infos here
    I deleted the whole wtf folder for my hunter and tryed it with a new blank one. problem still exists.

    I moved one of my high level chars to forest of Elwynn and picked the following Quest.

    Forest of Elwynn (Goldshire)
    -> Quest "Koboldkerzen" (William Pestle) -> Click for Itemposition points to the Error "Leider gibt es keine Karte der Zone 'Ahn Qiraj'
    What? ;)

    After clicking for Itemposition the Region below Sholazar opens empty. Maybe someting wrong with some quest references in database that confuses the tracker?

    I fixed it for my hunter. Cleaned Questlog. Disconnected. Logged in. The Error described above dosen't appear again while entering the world. Picked new Quests and the Tracker works fine.

    Error pops up on login,
    quest tracker content is visible on start, but vanished after one collapse/expand. Questtracker window remains empty until re-login.

    Same error with all other addons deactivated, Quest-Tracker doesn't list all quest in the blizzard quest log.

    Seems that I have to delete all quests from the log to correct this. But this is a no-go option, because at leats one BC-quest (Vajsh & Kel's phiole's) is 50% finished and the Vash's phiole was hard to achieve^^.

    Sorry I can't give any details about the non-refreshing tracker at the moment because I only get that data=nul error.

    What I know at the moment is that it updates the progression when I (de)collapse a zone.

    #9.1 2009-04-17 11:17 (Reply)

    I am having the exact same problem no matter what I do I only get tracker updates if I collpase\expand. I press the collapse\expand anchor nearly all the time just to get the updates after every mob kill, object pick up etc. and I even tried this with all addons disabled and only Mobmap enabled.

    There is a conflict with MobMap and QuestFu, QuestFu is great because it outputs the collection of quest items to blizzards scrolling combat text but with QuestFu enabled the MobMap quests list doesn't display any of the quests I have.
    The tracker seems fine.

    Hey. Before the 3.1 patch came out and still in the 3.1 patch, i've noticed a 20fps drop whenever your quest tracker is enabled. I don't know why, but i've had a huge difference when it's on. is there a way i can disable it all the time permanently? without having to shift clicking that tiny arrow everything i reload the ui?

    Oh this is the error:
    --------------------------------------------------
    Error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'data' (a nil value)
    AddOn: MobMap
    File: MobMap_itemdropdata.lua

    Deleting all mobmap entries from the WTF folder and doing a fresh install of the add on solved my tracker refresh problems.
