Guide getting "stuck" - resize issue?

From kl0wn64 on WoW-Pro.com:
It seems like every time I install this addon, it works perfectly for a week or so then stops altogether. I choose a guide, and it says the guide and the steps (169/471) done but doesn't show what I have to do and stops updating. It also refuses to acknowledge steps that i have marked as completed.
Im on the Borean Tundra (Jame) Guide atm.
I'm not sure why this would be happening. Have you tried loading with no other addons? It sounds like the guide is getting stuck somehow.
First off, neither Alliance nor Horde Borean Tundra guides have exactly 471 steps on the version I'm working with, so maybe I'm testing the wrong guide, I'm not certain. There were a few edits uploaded to the working copy recently, but they all had to do with coordinates so I'm not certain that they would effect this. Anyway, I can click all the way through to step 200 without having any freezing issues, and the guide acknowledges all steps I mark complete as complete.
Without actually running a character through that area, I can't really test it better than this, so I'm not sure what to tell you. Let me know what faction and the exact step in the guide where things go wrong, and I can try to find the source of the problem. I'm sorry it's not working correctly for you!
From Silverchief:
This same thing happens to me every now and then, usually when a step with a large description is coming up. If I resize the WoWpro window to make it much bigger the step appears. After that I can resize it again and the step usually stays.
Ah, this may be why I can't reproduce it - I generally play with the auto-resizing on. I'm wondering if there are some weird loops getting stuck due to the step hide/show logic that turns on with manual resizing.
I'll see if I can reproduce it with manual resizing turned on, and try and find where the root of the issue is. Thanks again for the report and the possible solution folks!
