I'm having problems with the raid aswell.

Using stuff like...

for _, v in pairs({
        CompactUnitFrame_UpdateVisible, CompactUnitFrame_UpdateAll,
    }) do
        v = function() return end
    end
 
    for _, v in pairs({
        _G["CompactRaidFrameContainer"],
        _G["CompactRaidFrameManagerContainerResizeFrame"],
    }) do
        v:UnregisterAllEvents()
        v.Show = function() return end
        v:Hide()
    end

is just bad gives you a taint in combat right away if your raid gets changed infight.

The thing is...I like the CombatRaidFrameManger and I want to keep it.

Using this will make the manager fade in on mouseover.

--add fading to the raidframe manager (code by Alza)
      local listener = CreateFrame("Frame")
      listener.check = function(self, event, addon)
        if(addon~="Blizzard_CompactRaidFrames") then return end
        CompactRaidFrameManagerToggleButton:EnableMouse(false)
        local man = CompactRaidFrameManager
        man:SetAlpha(0)
        man.container:SetParent(UIParent)
        man:SetScript("OnMouseUp", CompactRaidFrameManager_Toggle)
        man:SetScript("OnEnter", function(self)
          if(self.collapsed) then
            UIFrameFadeIn(man, .2, 0, 1)
          end
        end)
        man:SetScript("OnLeave", function(self)
          if(self.collapsed) then
            UIFrameFadeOut(man, .2, 1, 0)
          end
        end)
        self:UnregisterEvent(event)
        self:SetScript("OnEvent", nil)
      end
      if(IsAddOnLoaded("Blizzard_CompactRaidFrames")) then
        listener.check(listener, "ADDON_LOADED", "Blizzard_CompactRaidFrames")
      else
        listener:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
        listener:SetScript("OnEvent", listener.check)
      end

Currently the best idea I'm having is to resize the CompactRaidFrame to a tiny little thing and to hide it once we get out of combat.

Basically Hide it by default. Secure hook the Show and if that is called we try to hide it and if we are in combat we just add register the REGEN_ENABLED event and disable the frame once we get out of combat again.

That is the only secure method I can think of.

I'm currently testing this

--check the default raid and make it fade
    local checkRaid = CreateFrame("Frame")
 
    local killRaid = function(self)
      self:Hide()
      self:UnregisterAllEvents()
    end
 
    local hideRaid = function(self)
      if not InCombatLockdown() then
        killRaid(self)
        print("crfc show got called, hide it again")--debug
      else
        print("crfc show got called but cannot hide raid atm, in combat")--debug
        checkRaid:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
      end
    end
 
    checkRaid:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
    checkRaid:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
      local crfc = _G["CompactRaidFrameContainer"]
      if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then
        if crfc then
          crfc:SetScale(0.0001)
          crfc:SetAlpha(0)
          killRaid(crfc)
          hooksecurefunc(crfc, "Show", hideRaid)
        end
      end
      if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
        if crfc and crfc:IsShown() then
          killRaid(crfc)
          self:UnregisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") --kill the event again
          print("ooc now, hide raid")--debug
        end
      end
    end)

*Edit*
It worked on first try (check chat outputs):

Works in combat aswell. No taint. A big plus is the raid manager which I actually like.

Test:

/run print(_G["CompactRaidFrameContainer"]:IsShown())

Not sure if I can actually call self:Hide() in the hooksecurefunc while being in combat without tainting.
