In fact, I haven't had time to check all the possible issues but I suspect that the same problem will be encountered when displaying the formation report, air briefing, ....

Yes, minimizing, or ALT-TABing to another program will close the pop-up panels in TOAW III - both in the game, and in the editor. This is due to the archaic DOS-era code that runs most of the UI. Until the UI is completely rewritten for TOAW IV, this is the way it will remain.

Yes, this is a known issue. The use of zoom in the editor is for getting an overview, and not for actual placement of terrain, or units.

Also, when in the editor and using the buttons circled below, the unit information in the upper right doesn't change and while the formation stays highlighted in the main screen, the selected unit is not highlighted in gold/yellow. In the game itself, these functions work properly. I was just checking to see if this is a fluke that only occurs in my time warp.

No, good point. I noticed it, too, but forgot to mention it.

Indeed this bug is happening to me as well when I use the Deployment Editor. When I hit the "next/previous unit" or "next/previous formation" buttons, the correct unit is highlighted in the Map Panel, but the unit shown in the Unit Panel does not change.

Perhaps you should post this bug in a separate thread, so it doesn't get lost.
