This one drives me crazy. It can not be just me... Every one has this bug, right? I have talked with friends on the phone and when I buff them they get the same bug.

Incase some one does not know what I am talking about I will elaborate. Every time I buff, the display of my health and action gets cut off at the end. The bars for these grow outside the viewable area. It only happens on my own display. If I buff a group mate I see his health and action bars grow and his mind bar shink in relation to it. Mine just grow to match my mind bar and stop, but I know they are still going, I just can't see them. This becomes an issue because you can not see you are taking damage to action and health until you reach the displayed area. This is not a big deal if you have 800 HAM and your buff brings you to 1100, you still have a good percentage when you see the damage. If you have a 1000 or 2000 HAM buff it means you only see damage after you have taken 60-70% damage.

Why is this bug not talked about? Why is it not on the list of doctor issues? Is it just a quirk of my system or display settings? Are others experiancing this UI bug? If every one experiances this why does it not bother other people? Am I going nuts? Does anybody care? Should I stop asking questions?

Issue #6

Ah, I see, I am going nuts. Near the end of the first paragraph...

"they simply do not scale properly so that the buffed bar simply goes out past the edge of the window and any damage sustained to that attribute is not seen until it gets below the point where it can be seen inside the window."

More questions though... This happens to me every time I buff, every time, totally consistent, every time. It also happens to my group mates, every time, totally consistent. Is that your experiance as well?

Yes, that is exactly the same for me as well. Thank the patches I have not seen the stuck ham bug in a long time. (looks around for wood to knock.

Doesn't this bug drive you bananas though? It drives me bananas. Heck it drove me to post...

I'm pretty good at estimating how much damage I end up taking. When I see 900's float above my head, I start panic mode right away. For casual encounters, and considering I've buffed my Stamina and Constitution, it usually never becomes a problem.

Yep, totally consistent for me. All three of my bars never extend beyond 1050, which is my mind bar. However, group members and targeted people usually show it scaled properly.

Luckily I rarely see stuck HAMs anymore (can't recall the last time). Now that one is deadly. This one I at least have 1000 HAM to react to.
