Alt-C broken

#1 Post by UrshMost »

In the build 2016-10-3, alt-c (to turn on the distance circle) works for the first system that I activate it on, but then will only turn on or off for that system. I am unable to activate it on another system.

What happens if you turn it on, and then select another system? Does the circle stay at the system that has been selected when you turned it on, does it disappear or does it move to the newly selected system?

After testing some more, i have found that;

If I single click on a system and press Alt-c, it works as you would expect. I can then click on another system the circle moves with the system focus and I can turn it on or off.

If I double click on a system and press Alt-c, it turns on and off for that system but cannot be moved to other systems, except;

- if I change the zoom, in which case the circle will jump to the current system but will now be stuck on that system, or

- if I click on a ship, it reverts back to normal, following the system focus.

Just tried to reproduce the issue, and found that the problem isn't double-clicking a system, but the production screen (which gets opened when you double-click on a system).

The problem is simply that when the production screen is open, the distance circle gets displayed for the system that has been selected when the production screen has been opened. Even if you open the production screen, then select another system and only after that switch on the distance circle, it gets displayed for the system that has been selected when opening the production screen, not the system that has been selected when switching on the circle.

Once you close the production screen, the distance circle immediately jumps to the selected system.

At least that is how it works on my system.

That makes sense, and matches what I'm seeing.
