Bug Report: Target Party Member Keybinds Become Mismatched When Players Join/Leave

Description:
When a player leaves a party and a new player joins, the keybinds for targeting party members (F2-F8) become incorrectly mapped. The keybinds no longer correspond to their correct party slots.

Steps to Reproduce:

Form a party with 8 players.
Have a player leave the party.
Have a new player join in the vacated spot.
Observe the keybinds (F2-F8) no longer align with their respective party slots.
Expected Behavior:
The keybinds should remain correctly aligned with the party slots, regardless of players leaving or joining.

Actual Behavior:
For example, pressing F5 after a player leaves and a new one joins will target the party member in slot 8, whereas previously it targeted party slot 5.

Additional Notes:
This issue seems to persist after multiple players join or leave the party, causing keybinds to progressively misalign.

    Too bad nobody commented so I'm resurrecting this. I started Cleric and decided to make myself use keybinds only in the beginning. My other style of healing in games would be mouseover the player macro. So I'm healing a group and people started to die because the keybinds switched. It would not be possible to deal with the reassigned keybinds so I just went to whack-a-mole style. Which I can understand for raids over 8 players but using keybinds feels really good and immersive since you do less staring at a UI versus looking at your environment.

    Hope it's on the to do list. I was almost ready to give up healing just because it's not very much fun playing whack-a-mole.

    Yep, I’ve been having the same exact problem and my teammates keep dying because of it. Extremely frustrating… but doesn’t look like this issue has been added to their known bug list unfortunately so I doubt we’ll see any fixes soon

    Yes, players have died. The number assignment shuffles around and either players die or i relearn the new assignments. The tank is visually in the third position on the unitframes but now I press crl-4 to heal them. We have had wipes from this so I don't see why it's not important. Healing with keybinds is a better habit to be in why reinforce bad playstyle?
