"Purge Indicator " Shown Top Left Corner of HUD

Shadowshire

From time to time the words "Purge Indicator" appear with very large white letters in the top left corner of the Heads Up Display.

Why?

As far as I can determine, it is not output by an add-on. .....

If I recall correctly, the "Purge Indicator" has appeared intermittently on the HUD for quite a long time -- long before I installed Heal Counter, I had only Healers Group Frame installed. Now I have both Heal Counter and Healers Group Frame installed, but I don't enable both simultaneously.

So I am not sure which one -- if either one -- is loaded for the character(s) whose HUD has those two words displayed. I've had most installed addons disabled, and some re-enabled, while I've been trying to ascertain the source of "Purge Indicator". Investigation is more difficult because its display has been intermittent.

Thanks for the tip, though! I will test Heal Counter and check whether disabling it makes a difference. I will test Healers Group Frame, too. Both probably use many of the same functions in the API and probably use a library or two in common. ..... Although it could actually be caused by a bug in the API.

Ive been playing the game for 3+ years. It's definitely an add-on.

After disabling Heal Counter, the words "Purge Indicator" are not displayed. This evening, I will test whether Healers Group Frame has the same effect.

FYI: I've been playing TESO for 3+ years, so what is your point? And I've developed add-ons for other games, too, and used APIs in "real world" applications. So, yeah, I've found bugs in APIs, and it wouldn't surprise me if that output is caused by a bug in an API function that Heal Counter uses. How about you?
