Disappearing menu items - 7/26/2008 12:17:42 AM

Status: offline 		Decided to post this here (mentioned it elsewhere) to be sure the devs get the info. When you click on an item in any of the interaction menus, the item (and if it is a list, the list) disappears. It's still there, because you can make selections by approximating the location of the selection box with your mouse cursor, but this is a serious inconvenience that needs to be fixed.

I assume that others have seen this...

Could you please put me a screenshot, to be clear what we are talking about?

1) Do you use the latest drivers for your gfx card?
2) Do radio buttons are the only controls that disappear or, say, checkboxes too? (You can  find a checkbox e.g. in preferences screen) What about normal buttons ?

All I can suggest at the moment is reinstalling gfx drivers (or installing latest versions).

Status: offline 		Well, this does not help at all. My drivers are current, and I have no similar problems with any other application.

Tell me, though, could this have come about from firewall/AV presence while downloading or installing?

Status: offline 		Don't think so - this has to be something in how the game is interacting with certain systems. A driver interaction does make sense as I haven't been able to duplicate this either, but that doesn't mean it's not a bug in the game, it's just a very specific one apparently.

Status: offline 		Well, I'm going to try a fresh reinstall with AV and firewall off and see what happens.

I know how dangerous it is to cross the streams and to shoot protons at each other in a supercollider, so if the universe suddenly ends because of my little experiment, I hope everyone will forgive me.

Or, as the old boy from North Dakota said about the truck wreck that put a Minuteman missile booster in a roadside ditch, "Well, as long as it ain't going off, we're okay. And if it did, it wouldn't matter anyway.

It's a pita, but I guess I can live with it.
