    I love the alt-click automatic auction starting feature. It works fine for me in release version 620.

    I tried downloading the Beta (version 665) and alt-click auto auction starting no longer works in this version. Instead, going to the auction start screen and left-clicking on a container item while holding alt simply picks up the item per the default WoW behavior. I also tried control clicking and alt-shift clicking which also do nothing beyond the default WoW behavior (character paper doll screen and pick up item respectively).

    Again, works fine in 620, doesn't work in 665 which is unfortunate because I'm dependent on this feature :c(

    From the changeset 621:
    alt-click a container item at AH's auction frame moves the item to the sell item slot [ftkxde - changeset 621]
    moved auto auction start to shift-alt-click [ftkxde - changeset 621]

    Yes, but if you read my bug report I also reported that I tested that neither alt or alt-shift clicking do this:

    1) Alt-clicking the item in the container frame only "picks up" the item. This is the default WoW behavior for a left click. It does NOT move it to the sell frame.

    2) Alt-Shift-clicking also does not start the auto auction. Instead it either a) does nothing (if there is only one item) or opens the select item in a stack dialog (if there is more than one item in a stack). This is also the default WoW behavior for a shift click on an item.

    I have reinstalled 665 and tried again just to be sure, and I'm verifying it again. At least on my machine this functionality is not working as expected with either alt or alt-shift clicking.

    Pardon me.

    unfortunately I'm not able to test it atm. Hopefully ftkxde will step by and can give u an answer.

    I'm pretty sure I fixed this a couple of days ago in 3.3.666. I don't see 666 or higher availible for download yet though.

    The problem still exists for me in 669. Again, alt clicking and shift clicking at the auction screen results in only default WoW behavior.

    Problem goes away when I disable all addons except for auctioneer, enchantrix, informant, enhtooltip, and stubby. So it looks like the changes introduced since 620 have also introduced a conflict with another mod I run.

    I don't have time now, and the WoW log-in is really wonky for me right now, but later this week I will do further testing and try to isolate the mod(s) that is causing the conflict.

    Possible Culprits (i.e. what I'm running):

    1) Cosmos (and all its related mods)
    2) CT_MasterMod
    3) CT_RaidAssist
    4) CT_ShieldMod
    5) Decursive
    6) GroupButtons
    7) KC_EnhancedTrades
    8) KC_Items
    9) MonkeyQuest
    10) Titan
    11) EnhancedFlightMap
    12) GroupCalendar
    13) MailLoot
    14) MetaMap
    15) QuickMountEquip
    16) BuffBot (a variant thereof... can't get to UI sites currently to get the exact one)

    It's one or a combination of these that is causing the conflict with Auctioneer... In the meantime I can simply disable everything but Auctioneer (and dependencies) whenever I need the alt-click auction feature, which is really only once per day.

    Ok. That was quicker than I thought it would take.

    The problem mod is AllInOneInventory. It is part of the Cosmos package and a pretty popular mod in its own right. It makes all of your containers into one big container. I figured this one was the most likely culprit after reviewing the source for the relevant function in your code (in AucUtil.lua).

    I figure the most likely cause of the conflict lies in one or more of the various ____ContainerItem____(bag,slot) function calls; I would bet that one of these functions gets confused by whatever it is that AllInOneInventory does to the bags to make them all glom together.

    I don't know enough about the objects and functions in your code to efficiently trace the logic all the way back find the exact problem (nor do I know enough lua beyond the obvious similarities to C/Java). But this should isolate the bug enough so you guys (the experts) can replicate the bug and adequately test and isolate it.

    Test:
    1. Disable all mods except for a) Auctioneer, B ) EnhToolTip, c) Stubby
    2. Run WoW. Verify alt-click auctioning works as expected. Log out.
    3. Enable AllInOneInventory (it is part of the Cosmos package and can be downloaded separately as well).
    4. Run WoW. Verify alt-click auctioning does not work as expected. Log Out.
    5. Enable all mods. Disable only AllInOneInventory (and AllInOneInventory(Khaos) if using Cosmos)).
    6. Run Wow. Verify alt-click auctioning works as expected.

    That should be enough for you guys to either fix the problem or to simply write off AllInOneInventory as incompatible (but of course, since that is part of Cosmos it has fairly wide distribution)

    For now, I'll just disable AllInOneInventory because I can live without that more than I can live without Auctioneer

    If you cannot replicate the bug with the above test please let me know that means the problem is in the specific way my AllInOneInventory is configured. If you can't replicate let me know and I will do further testing on my settings to isolate, but I have a feeling that won't be necessary.
