I tried everything else only disabling the UI seems to be the only option.

Also searching for info on the inspect bug seems that can not be done as well not sure it that was an nUI problem as well.

The removal of buffs via right click has become a secure Blizzard function to prevent addons from automatically removing buffs.

EDIT: If you need to remove a buff /cancelaura buffnamehere will do the trick. e.g. /cancelaura Well Fed . This can be also be macro'd.

If I understand it, cancelling buffs is a protected function since 4.0. That means you can't cancel buffs from any addon, only from the default Blizzard ui. Not sure if there is or will ever be a workaround for this. It is similar to the set focus issue in addons.

Addons can cancel buffs on right-click, they just need to switch to using new secure code Blizzard added. However, this new secure code is limited on what it can do as far as things like buff filtering.

Crip this is stupid. So we cant easy drop a pumpkin head buff, Ya iam us there ui..whin hell freezes over. There buff bars in the middle of everthing.

[xandora]

to remove pumpkin head make a macro like this:

/cancelaura Jack-o'-Lanterned!

Done!

Can we get an option to turn on the blizzard buff system again so we can just use that in the meantime?

Please?
