Yes, and there's a glow around others' health bars I'd like to get rid of.

I just tried disabling all add-ons and the resource bars are still the wrong size while there's no food buff active. Strangely, it doesn't seem to be entirely consistent across characters. Almost all of my characters without any active food buff are showing all of their resource bars at the expanded size you'd expect if they were using tri-stat food, but one of them (also without any active food buff) only has the magicka resource bar expanded, while the health and stamina bars remain the correct unbuffed size.

Do they have any non-food passives that might affect resources? Like some are Khajiit (all resources raised by 915) but some are Berton (magicka only is raised by 2000). And the game is now confusing permanent resource buffs with time-limited resource buffs?

Aha! Smart thinking, I've just checked and it looks like all of my high elves and bretons have an expanded magicka bar and normal-sized health and stamina bars, while just about all other races seem to have all the bars expanded.

I’m pretty sure this is a bug. The health bar also has the (resist?) backdrop and the glow I’m pretty sure normally shows up when someone casts overheals on you?

I also have the glowing health bar and, yes, it's really annoying. Still there with addons disabled. Still there after switching from recovery food to max stat food. Still there with companion despawned. I'm on a wood elf.

I'd like the resource bar length to be a representation of actual bar boosts beyond baseline from whatever the sources.

And I'm not a big fan of the constant bar 'sparkle'

Health bar still glowing and permanently displayed after update.

Seems solved for me. My health bar isn't glowing anymore and when I switch attributes bar visibility to "always", it immediately shows up, no need to "/reloadui" first. Also, it wasn't just my health bar glowing, but everyone's (forgot to mention that in my post, sorry). Not anymore, it looks just as it should.

Though we seem to have mixed multiple similar issues in this thread. The one I was talking about seems to be fixed. Will report back if I find something, didn't play much yet.

They have made changes but it is not fixed.
The glow now happens when wielding destro staff, it seems to be fixed with other weapons.
Health bar size is also back to normal, but resource bar is still not correct size.

I am thinking maybe you just not wielding destro staff.

still broken, health bar still glows and magicka/stamina bars still appear to be buffed when they are not... can we get dev comment on this?

Glow versus no glow for my characters and the results show that both who have the glowing health bar are Templars. Character 3 is a level 36 Breton Templar while character 7 is a level 13 Argonian Templar. Neither one has any buffs or debuffs showing and the only "active effects" both have listed are Major Gallop and ESO+. I also just logged them in at the bank so it's not like any combat was involved either and I don't believe any skills just being slotted cause this, but I could be wrong if it was added to one or more of them.

Character 1 (Necromancer): Inferno Staff and 2H Mace, no glow
Character 2 (Warden): Bow, no glow
Character 3 (Templar): dual-wield Swords and 2H Sword, has glow
Character 4 (Nightblade): dual-wield Axe/Mace and 2H Mace, no glow
Character 5 (sorcerer): 2H Mace and Inferno Staff, no glow
Character 6 (Dragonknight): dual-wield Dagger/Axe and 2H Sword, no glow
Character 7 (Templar): 2H Axe, has glow
Character 8 (Dragonknight): Inferno Staff and 2H Axe, no glow
Character 9 (Arcanist): Inferno Staff, no glow



EDIT
Tests using Character 3, the Breton Templar: Other players don't see glowing health bar when targeting Character 3. Changed out dual-wield weapons for bow, still glows. Removed all weapons, still glows. Removed all skills in addition to removed weapons, still glows.

I swapped the Sorcerer's Inferno Staff to Lightning Staff and still no glow.
I swapped the Necromancer's Inferno Staff to Lightning, Ice, and Restoration and still no glow.

Meanwhile, my brother said the only two of his he logged on were a Warden with a destruction staff and a Templar with Sword/Shield and they both had the glow.

I haven't checked all my characters, but I've been getting the glowing hp bar on my sorc and DK. It seems to be linked to destro staff use for me.

Sorc with double destro = glow on front and back bar. When I replace the front bar wep with something else, I now only have the glow on backbar. No weapon at all also = no glow.

This visual effect is very distracting and annoying. Could we please get an update on whether it's intended or can be removed? I'm not sure what it's meant to be telling me.

I still have the glow on my health bar with destro staves equipped. So it's not fixed. Although the thick frame that used to be there before patch they did take away.
The glow remains, however.

My health bars are still buffed when no food is active (Dunmer character).

For starters, I said "health bars" but I meant "resource bars." But after logging out and back in, the next time my food wore off my health bar went to the small size, but the magicka and stamina stayed longer even though no buff was active. I usually use food that only buffs health and stamina. So it's now inconsistently inaccurate.

Independantly from glow, before Update 42 health bar was only displayed when targeting enemies or in combat. Since Update 42, it is permanently displayed. Settings are on "Automatic" (as they always have been).

The health bar being always visible is most probably a side effect of the health bar constantly glowing. If the health bar glows, there is some information to be displayed, so it's correct to show it. However, it shouldn't be glowing in the first place. Since the issue is fixed for my Nightblade bow/dual (health bar isn't constantly glowing anymore), it's also hidden again during exploration with attribute bars set to "auto".

I've always had mine set to Automatic and the glow, both before the patch and after the patch, did not make them suddenly appear, I had to turn them on for each character to see who had a glowing bar and who didn't. Heck, I didn't even know about the glow problem pre-patch until my brother told me about it (his are set to always show).
