Did a quick search to see if this has already been reported:

When right clicking on a unit, the unit dialogue window does not open. A faint outline of the window appears on the background, but no more than that. I use right click on units a lot during the game. Work around is to use the main unit dialogue tab at the top of the screen.

Save attached.

DO you only have the issue with this scenario? I tried this one and multiple scenarios with no issue.

Well, I am definitely getting trigger happy in my old age and skipping several basic troubleshooting steps. Tried reloading this saved game, as well as loading a new scenario, and the problem went away. Right click open unit dialogue works as expected. Just an anomaly I guess.

Apologies for taking up anyone's time.

No worries.

Ok, hope I am not driving anyone with my own wild goose chase, but I went back to this and I think I do have a real issue. When I tested this the 2nd go round, I did not replicate the exact same conditions I had before. The no Unit Dialogue issue seems to appear only when I have the Database Viewer window open as well. When it is not open, right click on a unit works as advertised. With it open, no joy. Tested in several different scenarios, including loading a save game.

Would appreciate someone helping me verify this in their own setup. If it is my local issue, I will continue to troubleshoot.

Thanks!!

OK, I see what you're seeing, but I have never done that before. Have never seen the need, frankly. Maybe it would matter if it was an issue with multiple monitors.

I am using multiple monitors. I tried moving the window to the main monitor with the main screen and the issue is still there.

EDIT: The workaround works for me, so please consider this a low priority issue if it is going to take resources from more pressing items. Especially if no one really uses right click like I do.

Have the same issue as you Sigma8510 (asked to merge my double post into yours).
Using multiple monitors and always have the Database Viewer open. Now, there's a conflict when right-clicking units. Hopefully it gets sorted down the road.

Agreed. Not sure how many Command guys use our unique setup. I bought another monitor just to use this capability in game. Workaround suffices for now.

A number of people use multiple monitors. Just not many seem to leave the db open. I think most people use it for the message window.

Well, my setup allows me to have the "command map" window open together with Database Viewer + Message log + Mission Editor + Order of Battle + Doctrine & ROE + Side Briefing.
It's very nice to have access to all that information at once, not needing to open-close, open-close...
It is what makes CMANO so immersive (at least for me).
Keep up the good work Warfare Sims!

Sorry to be a PITA, but is this being looked into? Is it registred?
Personally, can't really play this version (at full immersion) and now considering a roll-back (which I really don't want to do).
The recent patch was such a good improvement.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I know new features always causes problems.

/all the best, Broms.

I have this issue as well. I can confirm this still exists in build 998.4.

Still in 998.5
It seems like there's been a window-ID mixup. When (trying to) opening the unit menu (by right-clicking on unit), the Database Viewer "responds" by reloading (it shouldn't). And the menu (for right-clicked unit) stays invisible (although there's a black vertical line showing up - graphical glitch?).

There are more pressing issues, I know
Just want to help out.
/Cheers

Is there a way to roll back to previous versions?
(prior to 998.7, i.e. before that massive and much appreciated patch)
Still a concern (for me) not being able to right-click on a unit with the Database viewer open.
All the best,
/Broms

Fixed in Build 998.8.

Fantastic news, thanks Dimitris! [:)]
I am currently on the Steam version so I'll have to wait for 998.8.
Can't wait [:D]

Is there an ETA of 998.8?
Would like to opt in on beta on the steam version, but don't know if that is possible?
