Using profitUI the cast bar shows the name of the current ability/item being cast, and a graphical left to right colour change to display progress - this info is overwritten by the "interrupted" "item not ready yet" "already casting" "in recovery" "target not available" etc etc messages which pop up in a 'comic style' font on the bar. These messages prevent reading which ability/spell/item is casting and seeing clearly what progress it has.


Here's an easier example to duplicate than being interrupted a lot.



1. Make a macro with a few casts, (for example one of the dps macros a priest like myself uses because selecting dps rotation is far less important than watching everything else we watch e.g. raid for hp/curses/dets, ward amounts and debuff times remaining etc etc).
2. add an item use to the macro, for example manastone. Use the manastone then try using the macro.
3. you now cannot tell what ability is casting or how fast properly, because the item part of the macro causes these useless junk messages about "item not ready yet" to endlessly spam the casting bar itself covering over the really useful name & progress feedback of whatever is casting.

I've used profitUI for so long it's only just occurred to me this might be a profitUI problem, but I believe the standard UI includes the same junk messages.
