"Interface action failed due to an Addon"

Anyone else getting this message? I seem to get it when I enter combat for the first time - but I've no idea what Interface action is failing or which Addon is causing it? Bugsack is empty...

i get this message too. Perhaps it's a coincidence that you notice it in battle. I've noticed while i've been idle forever. I think it's just a blizz bugged message like the one that says you're not in a guild when you log and you are. I still get that message periodically.

This little message was introduced in the last patch. Copied below from the Blizz website for the patch.......
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/


If you get a message "Interface action failed because of an AddOn", this means that an AddOn interfered with the Blizzard UI in some way. To diagnose this, enter the following into chat "/console taintLog 1" and restart the game and try to reproduce it. If you reproduce it, you can quit the game and search through the file Logs\taint.log for the word "blocked" and mail the log to the author of the AddOn listed there. Once you have done this you can turn off logging by entering the following into chat "/console taintLog 0”
For more details on UI macro and scripting changes, see the UI & Macro forum.


Dunno if this helps in the specific case but it explains the message

Yes it does help... thanks. I'm going to try to get ahold of the guy that updated DUF and see if he has a fix or even knows about it yet.
