UI bug (ship details not showing)

September 9, 2002 6:44 AM from

Just stumbled across this, and haven't seen it reported yet.

When you go to the in game menu screen and then return to the star map, the ship details section is replaced by a description of what the star map is. What I noticed is this:

Part 1:
if you have a ship selected (with moves remaining), go to the menu and then return. The ship details will not be shown.

Part 2:
If you have another ship in the "next ship" buffer, press the find button. The details of the next ship are not shown either. I would assume that it would be the same for more than one ship.

I was hoping someone could verify these..

Thanks,
Brad

This sounds similar to the thread "Policy Screen Advisor appears after saving a game." that was reported on the 1Y build, although I reported only one specific case where it happens. This problem has a lot more variations than either Landwaster or I have described.

One way of getting the ship detail back is to click the main screen button (the one just left of the button that calls up the planet list).

Well.. any click off the ship, then back on it will show the details again. So it's not like they are lost forever

Yeah, we've been having problems with that window.
