Yea, I know a way, but it's only repeatable in a certain situation. I use track on PvP and this is how it happens --Open track for PCs only (I don't know if this applies for other situations, and I don't care to try when I'm on my toes 24/7)Attempt to track someone that are on the threshold and about to disappear from your tracking screenIt won't track that player, the player will disappear from track, close the tracking windowAttempt to track again, the window will NOT open.I've run into that nasty little thing trying to track PvP enemies with group members and have had to log quickly to fix it several times.Thanks,Ichaihai27 RangerVenekor<div></div>

<div></div><p>Open track</p><p>Click on an NPC to track that is too far away to show the wisp, and click track.</p><p>A message appears in your chat window giving you the general direction of the NPC</p><p>Click cancel in track.</p><p>Close or leave open track, doesn't matter.</p><p>The message continues to appear in your chat window every n seconds.</p><p>The only 2 ways to correct it are to track another NPC, or to zone.</p><p> </p><p>Please fix this so that clicking Cancel in track stops the message in the chat window.</p>

<div></div><p>Another way:</p><p>1) Open track, then zone, cast track again before closing window, track broken.</p><p>It seems track is quite bugged, not only in the various ways it can be broken but recently I've had alot of problems using it, like trying to track someone and it giving 2 different directions; one in chat box (ie Target lies NE) and then a trail leading the opposite way (ie SW).</p>

In both of our situations it seems that we're trying to track invalid targets and the tracking window freaks out.</p><p> </p>

<div>Out of curiousity would it be so hard for them to just reset track(Like it apparently does when you zone) every time you press the 'Track' CA button?</div>

Go figure eh?</div><div> </div><div>Also, I've asked other scouts in the zone did their track just break as well, they always reply yes.</div>

Back to my point that it would be nice if they would put an option in to reset track. I dont care if I have to press 10 hotkeys at once, I would just like the option.<div></div>
