Enemy NPC's health bars disappear

Occasionally, while I play, enemy NPC's floating health bars (those above their heads) disappear. I noticed this usually happens when I am in a group finder with partial group formed. Sometimes, when I am fighting two enemies, one of them has it and the other doesn't.
Tried /reloadui, but only relogging seems to help.
Anyone with similar problems?

    Yes, that happened to me yesterday, while I was doing some quests in deshaan, fighting orc intruders. Wasn't grouped (though I did fight alongside other players occasionally) and it just started happening randomly. Tried reloadui as well but it didn't work. By the time I finished all quests in that area it seemed to have fixed by itself.

    This happens to me a lot. Just now, even relogging didn't help. I'm running a repair right now.

    Edit: Confirmed, this seems not to happen until I am waiting in group-finder with a partially-filled group. I think it has something to do with how your health bar changes to a darker blue because you are in a group.

    No one else is annoyed by this? If the enemy health bars disappear, it makes it very difficult to tell where enemies are, especially when you're in a crowd of players and mobs.

    Never heard of this until now. Have you tried disabling addons to see if it still happens?

    Temp fix found: try turning off friendly npc healthbars and/or friendly player healthbars. then reloadui. Seems to work 90% of the time

    Happens to me too occasionally, pretty nasty since it makes enemies harder to visualize in general. The whole life bar system in the game is faulty and needs an overhaul, Id like to see ressources and buffs / debuffs of enemies as well.

    Generally, using the "toggle UI" hotkey off and then on again, solves the problem.

    The health bar should still show on the top of the screen, at least it does when I lose the one over the npc.
