ODD behaviour of rightclick menu

Lumbermill_Emperor

as you can see on the video it started from
0:38
and few times later too


the rightclick menu immediatly dissapear if MY WEAPONS BLINKING

the blinking of weapons at hero doll is random, and i cannot figure out why it happening
i think it can be easy to repro as you can see
at least on my end lol

i dont think blinking is connected with addons, more likely its Zenimax thing.. or?
PS - only at crafting stations
PSS - same without any addon ON

way to repro
- open station
- rightclick on an item at ANY tab of it
- just wait, menu will dissapear when blink of weapons will happened

The blink of the equipment is something that happens since the release of the game afaik.
It's connexted to an event if I remember right but I can't remember the exact event name.

Could be something like
Code:
EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE
EVENT_ITEM_SLOT_CHANGED
Register a callback function to this even Toni, or some others about inventory items, and just do a debug message output like
d("Executed event EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE")
and you might find out which one it is and report it to ZOs.

The disappearing context menu should be because of a usage of function "ClearMenu()" somewhere in the event's callback function (or functions used inside the callback function)

It looks like the shown items at the crafting station (for me it was a deconstruction panel -> all items shown there that i could deconstruct) were updted every x seconds by something.

And with every update the contxt menu was disapperaing, and the character items were blinking.

To rebuild it:
-Go to deconstruction crafting station
-Have a few items in your bag/bank to deconstruct
-Right click one item to show the context menu and wait
-After a few seconds (maybe it depends on players near you spamming buffs too) the contxt menu will be hidden and the equipped items show the "refreshed" star

After some "debugging" I found out that something is updating all shown items, even the ones shown at the deconstruction list, as this happens.
