backpacks vanish from screen

when I open my backpacks on me and in bank they begin to vanish as I try to open all of them so I can sort my stuff... guess EQ can't handle all the juicy loot in my bank, but it is still annoying that like 8-10 of em vanish as I open the last tab in bank...

Know problem, EQ only has so many icons it can display go over that limit and some vanish.

That bug has been in game for years, maybe decades.

about time they fix it then...

I have seen this a lot with bigger bags in the bank, what I did was resorted to only opening 8 at a time max.
I think the default bank UI probably needs to move to the "tabbed" bank UI design some custom UI provide.
For example:

EQ is 32-bit, they straight up cannot address enough memory to display that much, which is why they resisted big bags for years and are hesitant about giving us anything bigger than what we have access to now. The fix would be re-writing the client as 64-bit which is almost nonexistent chance of happening,

well they will be forced to it since Microsoft is dumping 32bit just like everyone else is ;-) just a question about time.

and that there is the problem... "we want to, but we ain't got no plans", so lets wait til we are forced to so we have to rush it...

They don't know how to. The dev team is mainly limited to profit-generating ventures, not bug fixes. If it doesn't break the game then it's super low on the priority list, and at this point will probably never receive attention.
