using the apr beta (whatever that ver is), I've got a minor graphics related problem. Not sure where it comes from but for some reason French Frigate Shoals dot base when you select it, the box that has all the base stats is a black bar going all the way across the screen when it should be just a black box large enough to contain the base info. Not sure of any other dot bases that show same behavior but there could be others. It doesn't seem to be game killer/crasher but just display problem right now.

This has existed since initial launch so far as I know. Mine does it too. It's actually a wake-upper when you drag the mouse over the dot. WOAH!
There's also a corrupted island name on that S-island in the western Aleutians. Russki name. It messes up Intel Monkey, or at least used to.
On a map this dense the errors are extremely minor.

for me, it happens some times but not all the time.

I think you have to dwell on the hex a fraction to trigger it. If you sweep the mouse you can miss it. I don't think I've ever stayed on the dot and not had it.
Maybe you should séance the ghost of Rod Serling?

I was remembering this morning that I'd seen this post before & thought I might've posted it before as a minor graphics glitch then as well. I've never used FFS for anything or developed it so never used it. Since you're talking Twilight Zone, I'll have to search back to see if I'm jumping through time or not [:'(]
Actually it was about a year ago -
