Documented in release notes. Michael added that one a looooong time ago at player rueqests.

Status: offline 		When you open up an information window by clicking on a TF or base, it often covers the area you need to look at to decide what you are going to do.
You can't move the info box (although I have requested that) but if you move the mouse to one of the window edges the map will begin to scroll (slowly, in jerky movement) and will eventually uncover the area you wish to see.

...or click the mini map to move it without scrolling. On my machine the mini map might not be visible to start with but if you move as if scrolling it does.

Status: offline 		Maybe well known but as a rookie helped me just recently - immediately.

When reviewing "withdrawing ships in next 90 days" from the "Ships summary" button while in Map (i.e. not intelligence report)

1) Lists ship
2) Lists which Task Force its in
3) Provides "current orders" like "Move to Perth"

Click on "Move to Perth" and Map will center on that Task Force.

This has irritated me consistently since I first got the game. I wish the info window were displayed in a corner of the screen instead of center.

There are quite a few Grigsby's as well as Matrix employees in the pilots names.
Many real pilots are represented as well such as Boyington, Foss, Waldron, Thatch, Bauer, etc...

When left clicking through a choice of options, if you right click you will scroll backwards through the list.

i.e. "Set the operations mode" and "Set the combat mode" ...etc
