worked around it for now by adding a nil check, since I don't understand any of that code


			<OnLoad>
				self.current = {}
				
				self:SetFrameLevel(200)
				self:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG")
				self:SetToplevel(true)


				local arrow = self
				self.testA = arrow

				arrow.arrow = _G[arrow:GetName() .. "Arrow"]
				if arrow.arrow then
					arrow.arrow:SetAllPoints(true)
					arrow.arrow:SetTexCoord(0.78515625, 0.54687500, 0.99218750, 0.54687500, 0.78515625, 0.58789063, 0.99218750, 0.58789063)

					arrow.glow = _G[arrow:GetName() .. "Glow"]
					arrow.glow:SetAllPoints(true)
					arrow.glow:SetTexCoord(0.40625000, 0.77343750, 0.66015625, 0.77343750, 0.40625000, 0.82812500, 0.66015625, 0.82812500)
				end

				self.body.text:SetSpacing(4)
			</OnLoad>

ADDITIONAL INFO: Blizzard seems to have removed a few of their templates. In this case, the GlowBoxArrowTemplate has been removed from SharedUIPanelTemplates.xml for WoW 11.1.5.
FYI - This is what that template definition looked like in the 11.1.0 code ...

	<!--
*******************************************************************************
    GlowBoxArrowTemplate
	This is a bright yellow arrow with a glow around it
*******************************************************************************
-->
	<Frame name="GlowBoxArrowTemplate" virtual="true">

		<Layers>
			<Layer level="ARTWORK">
