1083c: Garbled text "Manage ships under repair"

Go to a port that has no damaged ships. Notice that there is a blank area to the right of "Change HQ for ships on this list" (print screen on this message).

Now click on any ship, then click on Show all Ships for (Pacific Fleet), then press ESC, and ESC again. You'll notice that the blank area now has a button "Show Ships for All HQs" (second print screen).

Then go to any port that has damaged ships (say Seattle on Dec 8, 1941); the "Manage ships under repair" button is being printed in the same spot as "Show Ships fll All HQs", and the text ends up garbled. (third print screen)

Not a serious problem. If you click on the button it clears the text by itself. But until you do that the text remains garbled.

Thanks!

Well, we appear to be out of room. We'll have to remove a feature. Which one?

Oh, I think it's just the sequence unexpectedly leaves an extra button to the ships list per base screen. The first and the second print screens are exactly the same screen (list of ships per base), but the second print screen has one button too many.

When you get the list of ships per base, it may add a button "Manage Ships under repair". That button is ok.

When you list the ships per HQ, it adds a button "Show ships for all HQs". That button is ok too, but the dialog doesn't remove this button when the dialog closes, so when you go back to list of ships per base, that button is still unexpectedly there and gets mixed up with the "Manage ships under repair".

I believe that the resolution is that when you close the list of ships per HQ, it should remove (or hide) the button "Show ships for all HQs" from the list of ships dialog.

This is still happening on 1.0.1.1083. Just reporting -- this is really a small thing with easy work around, so Patch 2, 3 or 4 is all well for it.

Thanks!

This issue is not on the Patch 1 list. Not as easy to fix as one might think and there are other issues that need attention.
