UI behaviour

Ive come across two strange bugs in the user interface with the newest build..

Once the game ran away from me, just as if I had pressed the "turn button" contiously. The turn-icon even showed as if it was beeing pressed/released even tho I didnt do anything. Just as the game did in an earlyer alpha..

Once the game didnt care where I clicked. It interpreted it as if I had clicked the turn-button. I couldnt do anything since for every click it did a "turn", couldnt click any close buttons and when I hit esc to save/quit the game I couldnt click any options there. All it did was do a "turn".
Just before that - the main view (big map) scrolled down to the end, out of my control.

Or perhaps there is a little ghost in my computer :)

Got the last one again. I was, as before, in the main map display. This time it got stuck in a quadrant and I couldnt do anything. Wherever I clicked it interpreted it as if I pressed the turn-button. Couldnt scroll in the map, tried by moving the cursor to the end of the map, tried grabbing and move (the new way) and tried to scroll using the minimap. No luck - I was stuck. ALT+F4 to quit was my only way out of the situation.

Oh btw, I hope you'll add right click in the minimap as option to set a ship on autopilot to a destination? And a way to set waypoints for a ship?

These seems to be fairly common. Now I got a "runaway" game again. It stopped when a ship on autopilot reached its destination tho.

:( That's a focus problem with our window handling code. The same thing seems to happen if you're dragging a slider and release outside of the game window. We'll be looking into both of these problems soon.

Is it useful to create a key-sequence that puts the game in "excessive debugging"? If you need more info than we normally can get since it's not always that easy to reproduce a problem...

It could be more info in the degug-file or to generate a file with smartexception-like data. Or anything useful :)
