jvgfanatic -> UI Bugs/Issues (10/11/2005 9:31:56 PM)

Don't want to make separate threads for all of these issues so I'll just put them all here. I've got a bunch to write up, I'll start with these though:
All of these first ones were in 1.1 as well.
=================== UI001
In the tutorial there is a window described that isn't named but I believe it is called the "attachment box" (it being unnamed in the tutorial is another bug however...)
When you move the mouse over the units in this window a "select info" cursor appears.
The sensitive area for the cursor is offset on the horizontal axis so that it's not over the unit's designated rectangle (in the attachment box).
This actually interferes with the "+" and "-" buttons so that only the left half of them is clickable/active. It also causes the right portion of the unit rectangle to be inactive.
==================== UI002
"Standard Campaign" and "Balanced" in the Choose Scenario list should have years (as in "Standard Campaign - 1792" or some such thing).
==================== UI003
In popup menus (Power, Choose Difficulty, etc...) The "active item" (the one the mouse is over) hilight should go away when the mouse pointer exits the menu region. Leaving it hilighted begs all sorts of questions.
Same popups: The currently selected item should be selected upon entry into the menu.
To repro:
1. Boot COG
2. Click "Difficulty"
3. Move mouse off right or left edge of window/menu/?
4. Move mouse over OK...
Now, if you click, is the "hilighted" item the new difficulty? Hmm..
Maybe solution is to not hilight them as the mouse moves over them. Instead, just hilight the one that is currently active and change it as the user click on the other items.
=================== UI004
I believe there are dead regions on the Military Advisor unit list (the large list, not the smaller outline to the left). When I click in some areas of a unit there are times when it CANNOT be selected. I will draw a picture as to where those regions are. This is VERY hard to test because the click reaction in this window is so dang slow even on a completely clean system.
==================== UI005
On the subject of popups (UI003) the POWER popup has no way of cancelling out of the menu choice. Once you open the menu you are forced to make a choice.
Allow clicking outside of the menu to lose the menu OR have "Normal" selected upon entry so that I know what to click to get out of it.
==================== UI006
In the CHOOSE UPGRADE list the active area (for mouse overs/clicking) only extends to about the 5th or 6th character of the Upgrade Name. In other words the active area for clicking an item in the list does not extend over that whole item.
