| Summary | 0008915: Line place - right clicking cancels the menu, cannot lower the number of units to be built | ||||
| Description | Pretty much as description in summary. After placing 40 mines in one line I wanted to place fewer mines in a separate line. Whenever I would try to right-click the 'number of' button for the second line the entire menu would quit out and return me to play. Seems that I was only able to increase the number of units. Quitting the game and re-loading resets the 'number of' to 10, so there's at least that as a temporary workaround until the UI is fixed. | ||||

Sorry about this. Here's Keith's workaround until he gets it fixed for real: A workaround for the time being: 1) Go to Settings 2) Click the View Controls button 3) Click the Context Menu Keys tab 4) From the dropdown pick... um, another bug The one that starts with "MISSING LOCALIZATION" It's just a missing string, no harm to the function. 5) On the "Line Place: Decrease Units To Place" line click the Edit button and define a key you want to press to decrement the count. I suggest Alpha1 or something like that but in general this keybind can only fire when the line-place context menu is actually visible so don't worry about it getting in the way of other stuff. I don't think the *5 and *10 modifiers work with it right now but you could get back down to 175 that way. 6) Save all that, then get back to the game, get to the line-place menu and use the key you just defined when you need to decrement the count. |

That also works as a workaround, thanks! |

For 5.042: * Fixed a bug in the last version where right-clicking the units-to-place button in the line-place context menu would close the menu instead of reducing the amount of units-to-place. Thanks :) |
