The reason for this is that you are using the "/stopsong" command at the beginning of a hotbutton I believe. I never even knew about /stopsong so I just have hotkeys that say "/cast #" (maybe with a group message in case of mezzes etc.) and since the beginning I've just been having to hit the number of the hotbutton several times to twist well. I got used to this after a while but one day tried to use /stopsong also and realized it was causing a disappearing casting bar and lots of other irritation, so I just went back to furiously pushing the hotkeys.

I think the problem could be fixed if there was some command to wait a millisecond after doing /stopsong, so that the hotbutton could ideally look like this:

/stopsong
(wait .001 seconds)
/cast #

Does such a command exist and does it help prevent the problem with twisting that so many of you are experiencing? This doesn't affect me as I don't use /stopsong but I'm still curious if this would fix the issue people have.
