Bug description

When unchecking the "Completed" box under the "Quests" section of "Show icons for..." in the "Icons" tab, the Completed Quest markers (gold question marks) disappear from the map as expected. However, upon discovering any new area in any zone, the option will reset and Completed Quest markers will begin showing on the map again. The relevant box remains unchecked, but the icons reappear regardless. Checking and unchecking the box makes them disappear again, but they'll always come back as soon as any new map area is discovered.

This has been happening ever since I started using Questie in August. The problem hasn't changed or gone away going from Hardcore into Season of Discovery.

Questie & WoW version

Questie version 9.1.0
Wow Classic Era version 1.15.0 (52409)

does this happen with only Questie enabled?

This is first time i see this bug reported. Thank you

does this happen with only Questie enabled?

Yes, it still happens even if Questie is the only enabled addon. Tested it with a new character just now.

I tested this and was not able to reproduce the bug @CyleJS @BreakBB

What I did:

1.) Completed a quest, so it showed up as question mark on the minimap.

2.) Disabled Questie option "Show icons for completed quests". This resulted in the Questie question mark to disappear and only showed the Blizzard question mark for the completed quest.

3.) I then discovered a new zone.

4.) I then went back to where I could hand in the finished quest.

(I marked the areas where the quest giver and the correspondig question mark would appear if I were closer to them)

5.) Going a bit closer, the Blizzard question mark appeared.

6.) Upon re-enabling the Questie option, both question marks were visible again.

Everything as expected. I suggest to close this issue.

Thanks for looking into this @TorpedoCXC 👍🏻

@BreakBB @TorpedoCXC the issue is with the icons continually re-enabling themselves on the main map, not the minimap.

I will test this, too. Thx for your continued feedback.

Sorry. I still can not reproduce the bug. @BreakBB

But from what I see from your first screenshot, your character may be very close to the question mark. If you are close enough, the question mark will be displayed anyway (by Blizzard, not by Questie). May this be the cause for the perceived bug? Or are you certain that also question marks very far away reappear? @CyleJS

@TorpedoCXC thanks for looking into this. Maybe it's just something strange with my installation then. I have noticed in the past that question marks will reappear all over the game world on the main map each time I discover a new zone. But since you can't reproduce it, I guess it's just a problem on my end somehow. Thanks again for checking.

This is only true for the minimap though @TorpedoCXC

It might be some specific setting situation though 🤔

Can you share a fresh screenshot of your Icons settings @CyleJS ?

Thx @CyleJS

I am out of ideas at the moment, but will give it another thought tomorrow. Looking at your screenshots, there seem to be a bug somewhere indeed. At least for you(r installation).

@TorpedoCXC @BreakBB thanks for continuing to look into this. I've done as you requested and confirmed that, for me, the issue is still identical to when I first reported it. I created a new character, turned off every addon except Questie, and took 3 screenshots. I ran quite far away from the quest turn-in area to make sure that proximity to the quest giver wouldn't affect antything.

In Screenshot 1, you'll see that I have icons enabled and the question mark is showing on the main map (expected behavior, totally fine).
For Screenshot 2, I've disabled Completed Quest icons and the icon has rightly disappeared from the map.
For screenshot 3, I changed nothing but ran a few steps forward and discovered a new map area. However, as you can see, the Completed Quest icon reappeared on the map even though it was still disabled in settings.

Thanks for your continued help with this.

@CyleJS thanks a lot for taking the time to reproduce the issue again and providing these screenshots. That surely helps!

@TorpedoCXC Looking at the settings, my best guess is, that this issue is related to the "Hide Icons in Unexplored Areas" setting. Let me know, if you want to look into this again 👍🏻
