Gamepad, Hotbars, Macros, and Crafting

[soulcryst]

Hi guys! Well bugger, I have a question. Before the patch, I could leave the hotbar on hold on my gamepad. Meaning it won't untoggle the crossbar even if the crafting is done. I could use my macros more efficiently and just laze around while i press only "x" twice. I was just wondering, if they changed it, and if there was any way to get it back in the options menu.

Yes - is the in the patcth notes - crossbar gets "inactive" when another window open "on top" of it. Originally when I was reading the patch notes I though it will remain open and simply just ignore any input if out of focus / covered by other window which would be quite OK as I was using the hold mode more for crafting as well ... But only after patch I've realized that it will completely deactivate / remove the (hold of) cross bar instead of making it only temporary inactive which I personally find very annoying now especially for the crafting but also in dungeons as it will close my WHM crossbar even while typing in chat and I've had several hard moments because of that I think they should either change it to have the bar only inactive but not to close while not in focus or offer 2 modes - one with closing bar (as it works now) and one new which will keep the bar up all the time and just ignore the button inputs when not selected / active / in focus.
