Additional context

Thank you for all your efforts. Not all heroes wear capes.

I have my doubts that this is an AzeriteUI error.

It backtracks from AzeriteUI hiding the GameTooltip, that is correct, but the actual error says that the global function type is no longer a function, but a string value. AzeriteUI does no such thing. I've search through every single file in the whole UI. At no point does it replace the type function.

Any addon could replace that function, but the bug occurs only when somebody tries to call it. Which happens quite often, and I bet a lot of those 11 errors in the bug tracker is about the type function.

Does it happen with ONLY AzeriteUI and no other addon enabled?

yes, it does happen with only azerite and no other addons. Do you think this is something I could fix on my end then?

Is it possible I'd need to install Retail WoW.. Load the Addon on there and then install it on Classic, or that doesn't matter?

No. Doesn't matter at all.

As an update I have gotten this bug reported from other sources too, and by typing /dumb issecurevariable("type") in the chat, we tracked it to apparently being AzeriteUI which replaces it.

Which just makes no sense, beceause it doesn't. I have searched the entire folder including all its libraries for any way that could possiby happen. None. Nothing. Also, I can't reproduce this bug myself in any way shape or form.

So I'm sort of clueless at this point. But I continue searching.

Progress! I can reproduce it now on Classic Era PTR (Hardcore)!

Won't be long until I can pinpoint it and fix it then! :)

Issue was in the vanilla tracker module. Found and fixed in 5.2.90-RC, which I just uploaded to Curse/Wago and should be available shortly! Yaaay!
