I am really happy to have /focus and mouseover options.
Just an fyi that focus macros aren't in.

Thanks for shattering my drea... eeh, I mean, for telling me upfront!
Interesting echo-chamber thought there. I'll just leave this here: Patch 1.4.0 (2005-05-05): Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected..
I think there is a lot of confusion about how mouseover macros work in conjunction with combo points, which is why I'm hoping there might be a blue post to clear things up at some point.
The whole patch note says "Combo points will no longer be removed if the target is deselected. They will only be removed if a different target is selected"
Looking at the macro code, mouseover macros technically "target" something. Is this the same as selecting someone?
In my mind, apart from what the patch notes say, the other question becomes: what does visual evidence from that time period show? There's always the possibilty that there was a bug and it didnt work as intended originally. Does anyone have an old PvP video that can show that a mouseover macro cleared or did not clear the combo points on another target?
We can debate all day what we think it should be, but in my opinion, only a definitive source (gameplay footage from that time, or a Blizzard post) can clear up the confusion.

Raven originally posted this link https://youtu.be/ii1bfARVFfk?t=360 you see him detarget and return to his original target with CP.
Edit: Detarget, targeting another player and then return to his original target with CP even.

Thanks. I missed that when I read through. It seems pretty clear from the video that, like you said the rogue puts CPs on the original target, gets feared, targets a gnome, then goes back to the original target with CPs still up.
Unless Blizz says otherwise, it seems pretty clear that it's working the way it used to.
I like all the rogues trying to pretend this is intended/valid balance change/always existed/effects everyone equally/etc etc.
It's not, and if you have to try and push for something like this, you have to ask if classic wow is really the game for you, instead of something a bit more hand-holdy.
Like retail.

The issue in 1.12 wasn't deselecting, it was that casting a spell on another target cleared your CPs. 1.4's change has nothing to do with this.
