Summary0023882: Double clicking on planet problem
DescriptionHey Chris, when you double click on a planet in the galaxy view then it swaps your view to the planet view. When this happens it also counts as a double click on the planet view.

You can see this in these logs. My action was "Double click on a planet in the galaxy view", and you can see that it's counted as a click in both cases:

10/3/2020 1:16:39 PM We are swapping our view to Cerf from galaxy map with an event type PrimaryDoubleDown
10/3/2020 1:16:39 PM We have a mouseEventType PrimaryDoubleDown flags None in the planet view during RunUpdate

The problem is that if you had units selected beforehand, the extra doubleclick on the Planet screen clears your selected units. So if I wanted to do a cross planet move, I would select my units, tab to galaxy, double click on a planet to enter the planet, then right click to move. But since my selection was cleared when I double clicked on the planet, this no longer works.

Workaround: Use ctl-click on the planet in the galaxy view.

Original report by Asteroid:

 .... the following doesn't work on 2.605:
- Drag selecting a bunch of units on a planet, tabbing out to galaxy view, double-clicking another planet to enter its planet view, right-clicking somewhere on the planet. Result: the units in question don't move.
- Select a fleet in galaxy view, double-click another planet to enter its planet view, right-clicking somewhere on the planet. The fleet in question doesn't move at all.
TagsNo tags attached.

Ah, I see. It sounds like the event needs to be consumed but isn't. I can't remember how good support for that is in the input system. I may just make all mouse clicks be ignored for something like 0.5 seconds after switching from a planet view to a galaxy view or vice-versa to get around this the simplest.

Thanks!

* Fixed a longstanding issue where the second click of a double-click into a planet was being treated as a single click in empty space on that planet and thus clearing your selection.
