Planet list is not displaying what the scroll bar is pointing to.

from Stardock Forums
On previous builds I could call up the planet list and set it to a sort and a planet within the sort, exit the planet list, then recall the planet list and have the same planet (within the same sort, of course) displayed at the same spot in the seven displayable positions. Many operations were much easier that way. Now, the planet list does not seem to know what to display where anymore. If my last use of the planet list was the population sort and the positioning was with the most populous planet on the top, my next request for the planet list will show the population sort, but the planet displayed at the top of the screen is quite a ways down the sort. (Note, the sort still looks good. The only problem is that what planets are displayed is no longer consistant from use to use.)

This seems to be related to something changing the order they would be sorted in during a turn other than changing the sort criterion. It opens on the position in the list, not the colony last at that position.

It may also extend across turns if the planet list is open during the end of turn processing. I haven't checked that possibility.

Arturus,

It goes without saying that changes in the behavior of the planet list is undoubtedly the result of the added code to complete it. I am just pointing out that the behavior is changed and what I find unfriendly in the changed behavior for SD to consider.

Um...this seems to be a result of my code to make sure that the selected entry is always visible when you open up the planet list. I'll see what I can do.
