attempt to index local 'option' (a nil value)

[AmenitradieDruidin]

Troubleshooting Steps

Unfortunately, this didn't help as the problem occurs in connection with the Masque add-on. I have already informed the addon author Masque about the error. But author told me that the error lies with ElvUI.

1x_...nfig-3.0AceConfigDialog-3.0-86AceConfigDialog-3.0.lu.txt

Describe the expected behavior and what actually happened?

Sometimes BugSack reports the error when I open a window like the LFG. Or when I make settings for the groups, raid or player/target window in ElvUI.

Reproducing the issue.

Unfortunately, this is not that easy. But it often happens when you make group, player, target or raid frame settings. Or when you open windows in WoW. Such as. the LFG or a group is created in the custom tab. If I have/find out more information, I will edit the post.

no relation to Masque, i know about this but don't have a fix currently. it has something to do with our custom ace layout.

Also seems to happen on hovering over guild or friends list panel options near minimap. still occurring as of 11.0.2 / 11.0.5
