Wanted - Ways / Prg /UI to find out what ui that crash wow

I´m love ui´s and .... hate them.
Is there a a debug or a prog or even (lol) a ui to determine what ui that crashes wow?

As I see it there is four particular times when it happens from a gamers view ,,i´m not a dev or a programmer ,,just a gamer ..

1. Startup of wow : Suddenly it freezzez in the startup
2. When a ui a uses itself ,, like u join a raid for example and ui is called into services (the ui is bugged ,,god forbid :)
3. a lua gone bad and when a ui tries to read from it get the shakes

So the question is again to clarify myself.. Is there any way to trace down a ui that crashes wow ?

I'm not sure what a lua that's gone bad is, the other two phenomena however are most likely "endless loops". In theory you could figure out which modification is currently excecuting, but that would require reverse engineering which is disallowed..

There isn't much possibility for debugging the UI unfortunately. Basically, you would have to modify the code for each addon and insert debugging statements (and that will not be easy unless you are the addon author).

I am in the same situation as you. Sometimes when I am doing MC (40-man raid) and have to relog, my UI hangs on entering. I have about a million addons, so it's rather hard to figure out which one is the culprit - it could be more than one and it could be a combination. I do have some suspicions, though, and there are a couple of addons that I always disable before entering big raids. These are ItemSync and Restack - but please note that I don't know for sure that they are causing the problems.
