    Fix for the Headless Horseman/Cog/Tooltip crash

    Hi all, still new here, so I cannot post direct links. If you're still having the dreaded crash mentioned in the thread title, try any one of these fixes, they definitely worked for me. Search on Wowinterface for:

    CrashProofTooltip

    Tooltipfix

    HorsemanSummonFix

    Remember to try only one of them at a time, hopefully one of these will work for you while we wait for Blizzard to get around to fixing this issue.

    EDIT: As mentioned in a previous post, (thx Revak!) there's a macro found originally on the WoW bug forums:

    Turn Off Tooltips
    /script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);

    Turn On Tooltips
    /script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

    The big difference is that with an addon, it's automatic, so you don't have to manually activate and de-activate the script. Still, it's nice to have options.
