Summary0003305: Double/Tripple Click with blobs
DescriptionIf you have a group of ships and are zoomed out enough that their icons are overlapping between different ship types if you double click on one, you can get a selection that includes all of the same units of one type [b]and[/b] the first unit clicked on (a different type).

For example, I was trying to select my scouts, but ended up with a selection of 1 scout and all my Mk1 fighters. The tooltip showed my mouse hovering over the scout, but somehow the double-click event was picked up on the fighter.

A triple click would add the other marks of the double-click selection (in the example, the Makr2 fighters).

This bug has happened to me before, common but not too annoying. The triple click suggestion should probably be in it's own topic but oh well. It would be useful for when you have many types of structures on the planet and you can't quickly find the icon for the ship (because clicking on that selects all Mk levels).

Effectivly the game doesnt register you clicking that unit, it registers you clicking both as so far zoomed out both are at the same location (I think).
I use it to my advantage when I want to get some ships selected to see them in the righthand panel and select both caps from there. :)

Sorry for not knowing every hotkey Draco, though maybe triple and double clicking should be a hint on the main screen.

Given that I'm reporting a bug and that I mentioned that "when I triple click, this happens" I'd figured that was a pretty big hint that it was an existing feature.

Fine, let me clarify my thought process too, I misread the last sentence thinking it was a suggestion because I had never heard or used it, let alone see this bug happen with it.

Now then, back on topic please.
