1.32 BUG: Trade window opened from map keeps closing itself

Post by pref »

The trade menu opened by right clicking on a ware on the map while having one of my ships selected almost always closes itself within half-couple seconds, sometimes even the whole map is closed.
It seems this is related to events that are shown on the event monitor because i always hear the sound of trade completion/rep gain when this happens. Hard to tell if they are truly connected though because my 20ish traders are always flooding me with events, there is something coming in about every second. But when there is a few secs pause rarely then the auto closing of the window still happens along with an event monitor beep.
There is never enough time to finish setting up the trade, or if its not time related, maybe the window is closed latest when the mouse arrives to the confirm button.

After closing itself, sometimes the window reopens after a few secs of waiting, sometimes not. When this happens the data i entered is still in there - if i managed to change the ware amount for ex before it vanished.

It is also needed that i move the mouse over the trade window for this bug to occur, because if i don't touch the mouse after it is opened, and use only keyboard for input then the window does not close on its own.
Still the input gets interrupted when i keep an arrow button pressed to adjust the trade amount - i have to repress the arrow key again in these cases (also seems to coincide with trade/rep event beeps).

Being on a station, or in a ship of mine does not make a difference.

Extremely annoying, makes manual trading a real frustration - let me know if i can help with any further info.

Otherwise game is running smooth, there is no input lag or low fps, and my PC is above min requirement: i7 8700, 16g ram, gtx1070 8g vram, ssd. Also using a saitek X52 hotas fo input.

Iirc the bug got introduced in 1.3 or perhaps 1.2. But i was not trading too much before that, so it might exist since 1.0 - still i remember seeing it first right after an update.

I was thinking if i should repost this in public beta forum..?
It's 1.32 but i have not seen any reports or it being addressed in the 1.5 beta 1 patchnotes.

Here is fine. My first thought was that you should check for a stuck/dodgy key or button, controller device or calibration/deadzone issue that might be sending an intermittent input. You can unplug devices one by one as a process of elimination. (Apparently even virtual devices using vjoy settings can be problematic too.)

If not that, then the more information you can send such as a vanilla save with the issue present, the better to track it down.

well, i only have a simmlar problem, maybe it is the same?
i have a lot of ships, wich send me in 5-10 sec rhytm the message that they are awaiting order. quite often when i get those messages , they tend to close the contextwindow i have open right now.
happens with the trade windows too, or when iam trying to build some station, on the station it just resetets the objectmenu for the chosen segments i want to build constantly.

That is worth thinking about too. Thanks.

Dont think it's the hotas, i have every single axis/button mapped on it and there is no unwanted input. I can try later without it if needed.
Keys and mouse have no issues.

In case it helps, here is a save on dropbox - not sure if its of any use, but at least the autotraders in it will spam the event monitor quite frequently.
