well, my swiss friend, so what you are saying is that the program is kind of braindead? Well, we all already knew that, the whole game is broken as hell. But anyway, thanks for reporting the issue and making the video It might get fixed in 2018

I know you know about this bug seeing as it was brought up in the last meeting I attended... yet no official response

And have not only tested the UI aspect but if it was not a UI bug and guess what... its not!

I kinda understand why the buff is removed being a modder and I don't think it is possible to change it without remaking the buff system.

Let's say, you take a Major Savagery potion/use Biting Jabs and switch to a bar with Expert hunter. You have two versions of the same Major Savagery buff from two different sources. A temporary buff from the potion or Jabs and a permanent buff from Expert Hunter. Now, we know that the same buffs don't stack. The game priorities the instance of the buff having the maximum duration left and removes the rest instances of the same buff. So basically the moment you switch to the bar with Expert Hunter, the buff from the potion gets removed, as the Expert Hunter instance of Major Savagery has essentially infinite remaining time which is higher than any other instances.

I can see two different solutions to this issue.

1) Modify Expert Hunter version of Major Savagery to a clone of the current Major Savagery in the internal buff database and give it an additional property to suppress the original version of Major Savagery rather than outright replace it. Same for Magelight/Prophecy
2) Make infinite buffs the lowest priority in the buff prioritization system and force a skill bar refresh everytime Major Savagery or Prophecy.

The first solution is ideal. The second one should do the job as well but may slightly increase lag on the client side.
