I've gotten past this a couple of times by closing and re-opening the game or by playing the UK first but it stuck this time. In an Allied turn when you try to select a major power to do something the UK map view list pops in and this time the US aircraft choice for naval air is staying in place, choose the US or other power and it won't stay on that part of the map...select the UK and nothing works.
It's frustrating to have a game going along and then you're stuck with restarting or backing up one or more phases and hoping the problem doesn't crop up again.

I don't understand what kind of bug you are talking about. If I load this game, everything seems in good order. Can you be more specific?

When I loaded it and took it into the next phase I choose the US to move units... the UK map view is up and when I move any one US unit the game jumps to the UK choice. I can't stay in any other power's place to complete all of the allowed moves. Maybe it is my system. I dumped the game in disgust and started over.

I still don't understand. If I end the phase for the CW, the map goes to the next major power's unit which can be used in this phase. So I'm really at a loss with what you mean exactly. Probably because English isn't my first language...

Is it the Naval Air phase this is happening in? I loaded the game and can switch back and forth between US, France and CW and move their respective units as long as I don't end their individual phases.

There is a Player Interface option that lets the program automatically go to the next unit that can 'move' in the phase. If you have that turned OFF, the program should just keep the detailed map unchanged after you move a unit. You should also be able to recenter the map on the next available unit by using the Red Arrows in the Main form.

There was a problem with Naval Movement where the program automatically centered the map on the next available unit - regardless of anything else. But I fixed that for one of the recent versions (sorry, I'm not sure which one).

The other possibility is that you did not create Map Views for each major power. I strongly suggest doing that and then Redefining the Screen Layout after you set them up for each major power. That will help you reset the map to where you want to be should this problem still occur.
