which addon caused this error?

Or Instead of adding a new button to the row just use the item icon that is already there as our button. Or just make it a left click context menu. Either way then all of the code is our own. This would completely work around the secure code problem.

I like your pool hack more This would be adding another UI element, and I can already see myself hovering over an item and thinking: "Is the thing I want to do in the core menu or an add-on?"

The whole menu interface looks very... old... like from before there was a class for ZO_Anything.

How about passing an optional object pool key to AddMenuItem?

function AddMenuItem(mytext, myfunction, itemType, myfont, normalColor, highlightColor, itemYPad, itemKey)
    local menuItemControl = ZO_Menu.itemPool:AcquireObject(itemKey)

You can use a string key with add-on name + some suffix, AcquireObject will create one object for that key and always return that one. That way you won't "steal" a secure menu item. Don't know if we can hook AddMenuItem and not break everything, in which case this parameter would've to be added by ZOS.

Edit: nevermind, this wouldn't work even if AddMenuItem could be hooked. AcquireObject() without a key would "steal" named ones...
