Problem sending macro to chat box

[Zax]

Hello,

I used to send macros to chat box in several addons like this

local strTemp = "/cast Feign Death"-- for example
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox:SetText(strTemp ) -- sent to Chat Box
ChatEdit_SendText(DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox,0)

But PTR 10 complains about a blocked command used by the addon (looks like a secure frame problem).
It still works with emote, if for example strTemp = "/sit"

Is it really a secure problem?

I'm more surprised that this would work in any version of WoW.
Spellcasts need at the very least a hardware event (keypress or click) no addon should be able to send a command like that unattended.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what your addon is trying to do.

You are right Dridzt, the given example doesn't work even on retail.
Sorry for this thread, I got confused in my tests - with all the errors generated by my addons on the PTR...
