Fleet list keeps closing when scrolling

Post by Solaristics »

When scrolling through which ships to select from a fleet the box quite often closes on me. It might happen when the cursor drifts slightly outside the scroll bar when I'm scrolling down - not sure.

Is there a way to stop this from happening (apart from being more precise with my scrolling!)? It gets a bit annoying as I'm scrolling up and down through quite long lists sometimes, selecting the units I want, then it closes on me and I have to start the procedure again as the selection isn't remembered. Sometimes I have to repeat this a few times before I complete the selection. I know it is user error, but it would be nice to make it a bit more forgiving.

You can use the mouse scroll wheel on any list. The bar is only there because..... in case people like that better for some reason.

The mouse scroll wheel only zooms the map for me.

If you open a list of ships, place your cursor in the center of the list (not on the edge), the scroll wheel will move you up and down the list.

If I am going to move some ships, usually I click the button at the bottom right that de-selects everything and then click on the units I want to move.

Thanks, the top left quadrant seems to work best for me!
