Immersion-WotLK breaks ElvUI Minimap

[Arcitec]

There's a pretty severe bug between Immersion-WotLK and the super popular ElvUI extension.

Immersion-WotLK destroys the ElvUI Minimap Button Bar the first time you talk to any NPC. This bar disappears forever until /reloadui. Which is a veeeery bad bug since many addons need the minimap buttons to use the addons during gameplay:

To see the bug, you need:

• https://github.com/ElvUI-WotLK/ElvUI
• https://github.com/ElvUI-WotLK/ElvUI_Enhanced
• Enable ElvUI > Enhanced > Minimap > Button Grabber. See screenshot.

I was looking around in the Immersion code and found what is causing the bug. It's ToggleIgnoreFrame on Minimap/MinimapCluster that causes it.

There's also some extremely weird code in Extensions.lua. Like Extension["Minimap"] = CreateFrame("Minimap"). Why create a new Minimap-template frame when the game already has one named Minimap? It doesn't look right.

This is as far as I got. I don't know what the best fix is.

For now I commented out every line of code in Immersion with the word Minimap in it, so now it doesn't break ElvUI anymore (but ToggleIgnoreFrame is a feature that maybe shouldn't be in the code at all since it breaks stuff in WoW client 3.3.5?).

This is how I patched out the buggy function calls:

How do I patch this in exactly? My mini map keeps resizing when using immersion is this the same thing?

It won't mess with your minimap anymore. That will probably stop the resizing.

Dude, thx you!
Your patched version fixed the blackening minimap when you use Immersion with ElvUI v. 7.
