Triggering a aura via tooltip is not reliable.

Describe the bug
Using a aura that relies on tooltip information only make the trigger not fire 100% of the time (only like 70%), the first time. Only after it has "learned" the aura does it trigger 100%, until you recreate the aura (like its "stored" to a temp. cache or something).

Do you have an error log of what happened?
No error, just very unreliable.

To Reproduce
Making a aura using tooltip information and tooltip pattern match.
Type in said matching tooltip (like "Stunned").
Go get stunned by a random mob.
It may fire, but not always.

Screenshots
Aura triggering normally:

Aura not triggering:

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?
Yes. There was no conflict.

Which version of WeakAuras are you using?
2.14.6-31

Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
I have no idea, i made this discovery literally today.

Additional context
I asked asaka-wa about about it and he could confirm that it wasnt firing all the time.

And the aura in question that i tested it on:

A simple way to reproduce with any self buff:

  • make a new Aura
  • aura - buff - player - Use Tooltip info - Tooltip pattern match - contains - <any word in the buff that's on you>
  • Close config
  • Aura not displayed
  • Recast self buff
  • Aura triggers.

To make this reliably happen again I had to delete the Aura and reloadUI. Then remake the Aura. Or make an Aura checking a different unit (pet etc.)
