Addon configuration is broken for characters that share a name with another character on the account

The Issue

A change in 11.0.5 now causes the game to load the AddOns.txt file for the wrong character at load time (possibly because of the fix for #608), and is then unable (or unwilling) to correctly save changes to it, resulting in certain characters being unable to enable or disable addons.

This only applies to characters that share a name with another character on the account.

Repro

• Create a character with a specific name on realm 1
• Create a character with that same name on realm 2
• On the character select screen, log into first character you made (the one that's lower on the character list, see below)
• Open the addon list and attempt to enable or disable any addons, observe non-functionality

Character List Order

The order of your characters in the character list seems to dictate the order in which your addon configuration files are loaded. From the characters that share the same name, the one that is higher on the list will see the correct functionality, and those below it will not.

To reproduce this behavior:

• Find the character with a non-functional addon list and move them to be above the other character
• Open the realmlist
• Log back into the same realm
• Enter world on the previously broken character, try addon list again, it should work now

It's a mystery as to why the character select list order matters at all, but hope this can be fixed quickly, it's quite catastrophic.
