[BUG]-Console locks in up position when getting info [Q&A CPP-6]

[hannahb]

I was in Dwarfish Tenderbox and I flew up to one of the stations storage modules and tried to bring up it's information window on the console. When I clicked [info] the console popped up but, clicking the +- buttons had no effect. So, I closed the console and opened it for the storage module again. At this point NONE of the console buttons worked and I could not back out or close the console. I was able to bring up the main menu so I closed the game.


This brings to mind that ANYTIME I am looking at the trade window on the console I can expand the tree with the + button but, I can never collapse the tree back down with the - button. (I wonder if these two things are related?)

This problem started for me sometime around 1.15.

There is a simple work around though which a friend of mine pointed out. Alt-Tab out of the game (minimizing it). Then Alt-Tab back. That seems to force a reset of the UI and clears the stuck console screen.

Sweet, thanks. I'll try that for now.

Out of interest, were you possibly within the gravity-well effect of a big ship at the time this issue appeared?

If you can bring up the main menu, you can also try changing the graphics settings so the screen resets. That usually cloeses the interface too.

When trying to view that item for the storage modules, usually I find the line displays "Storage (0 Wares)". If you use the details button, it will show you what you probably expected to see when you tried the + button. This happens to me every time I try and expand that line. @Alan, I've never tried in the gravity drag of a big ship, but it happens every time in free space.

Open Trade menu (Shift - T), try to click any buttons/entries -> does not work.
Keyboard input works, though.

Are you in the gravity well of a Capital Ship?

If yes, try to use the numeric keys, Tabulator and the left/right/up/down keys.

Dat.

This is a known problem. Also with the mouse wheel in menus, when you turn it too fast, the menu stucks (like in previous X)

Exactly thanks. Didn't notice that before.

About 80min after i started the 1.18beta gameversion, i was doing trades and somehow the tradingwindow all of a sudden started to not respond to mouseclicks anymore.

New Start of the Game didnt bring a solution, reloading the game did not bring a solution aswell. Switching solution neither.

The game still works well. My mouse works fine, and i can click f.e. on the button to open the trading window. In the trading window itself, i neither can click through the list of tradingoffers, nor the buttons in the bottom bar, nor the [x] to close the tradingwindow. The tradinwindow itself works fine, i can scoll up and down with keyboard and do trades and exit the windows via escape.

The mouseinput is not working while im near a capital or a station. I still can leave it (with "Esc") and also operate it with the keyboard.
If the skunk is far enough away from capital or station the menus work normal. Also the menous work normal in station.

To reproduce the only thing I have to do is flying near a capital lets say around "50m".


Ps: sry for my bad english trying my best.

this happens to me all the time. i just leave the gravity well and i can keep using the menus as always.
