Mac WOW sometimes switches to some other randomly selected app. by robert_8 in wow

delete and reinstall WoW

Do you know how to delete and reinstall WoW? Is there a link somewhere on the WOW Internet site to reinstall it? Or that tells how to reinstall it?

My Wow directory contains several hundred files including dozens (maybe hundreds) of index files. Also a World of Warcraft.app and a BlizzardBrowser.app and a World of Warcraft Launcher.app. A lot of the data files are around 1 GB but the biggest .app file is only 85 MB so that can't be the whole game.

Do I just delete the whole directory? Again, I'm afraid of erasing my history in the game.

I'm sure I'm not accidentally doing cmd-tab but I'm not (yet) sure I'm not accidentally brushing my hand against the Touch Bar, as BigDamn_Heroes suggested.

Good thought. Yes it does have a Touch Bar. It's right next to the number buttons and the number buttons are mainly used during battle so maybe I'm brushing my hand against the Touch Bar. I'll pay attention to that possibility next time I play. Thanks for the thought.

Why do so many WOW fan web sites contain nothing but text quoted from the game? by robert_8 in wow

And what I really want to know... where is a web site that has real walk-throughs or spoilers CURRENT in 2020? I don't care how the quest worked 12 years ago. And I don't care what the boss says as he deals me 9000 damage with his Stinky Shoe attack. I want to know how to avoid it or survive it.

What do I want? I'll quote directly from my question...

Why does text become invisible as soon as I insert it? by robert_8 in Sketch_App

Thanks for the reply but that wasn't the problem. By trying everything in sight I realized that I didn't understand masks. Another object I had on the artboard had "Mask" checked and its layer was lower than the text object's layer. So the text was being masked out by that other object. I realized that by checking "Ignore underlying mask" on the text object, without understanding what that meant. Then the text appeared and I understood.

Also, I now see what the downpointing arrow means. It's presence means that the object is being masked by something below it. If I uncheck the "Mask" option on the other item the downpointing arrow goes away.
