Raiding - UI wierdness

Over this weekend I noticed a few things that seem broken in the UI for raiding. I would not be surprised if they had a common root cause. The problem is what happens after you form a raid and then the groups leave the raid.

1. You can still call up the raid window. It shows the composition of the raid before your group left it.

2. If you do /whoraid it shows a list of people in the groups that were in the raid. I am sorry that I did not take notes when I did this. I don't remember if the results match the raid window or they match the current membership of the groups.

To this ex-software engineer it appears that there probably is a flag in the client that says if you are in a raid or not and a data structure that says who is in the raid; and that that flag is not getting cleared when your group (as opposed to just you) leave the raid. If the flag still erroneously says you are in a raid, your UI looks at the data structure and happily tells you about the other group(s) that were in the raid. Just my guess, but I would put a few coins on it. :smileywink:
