Has anyone else been having issues with the addon unit_frames causing an error kind of at-random while playing? I'm using the unit_frames that were in both Red and PP's packages.

I keep getting an error that reads "You are trying to execute a command reserved to the WOW UI." with the option to accept or ignore. If I choose ignore, nothing happens. If I accept, it screws things ALL up.

It occurs most frequently when I try to dismiss Karj's pet (can't dismiss), and happened when I tried to duel Koskun the other day.

For now I've turned off the mod, but I like it.

I can't find the post I read yesterday but it was a good rundown of what "taint" means in the UI. Basically it boiled down to don't always trust the error message that points the finger at a particular mod. The UI code can carry around "taint" for quite a while before it hits something that triggers the protection portions that produces the error message.

Dueling from right-clicking the character frame is an acknowledged bug by Blizzard and will be fixed in BC. I believe /duel will work.

Also, for anyone getting these errors while left-clicking buttons and such, I have found that using right-click does work. For example, applying poisons and opening lockboxes was triggering the error until I started selecting the weapon/box with a right-click to use the ability. Someone else may have mentioned this yesterday, I can't remember.
