LAUNCH button always was in right-bottom corner, now the Options button is there. I think this should be switched back.

Not quite a bug, but I agree with Aleksey. It's kind of awkward to hit now. (How often do you need to chose Options? Really?)

The problem that moving the launch button was trying to solve was that people were hitting that accidentally when in the station because that is how to get out of the PDA when in space.

Ray also mentioned to me that he found having to close the options menu less of a hassle than being launched and having to redock at the station.

I'm still trying to come up with a good compromise. All I have so far is a Are you sure you want to launch? YES/NO prompt.

That'd be a good compromise if we could disable/enable it in the Options menu somewhere.

The chat text-entry field looses focus anytime the PDA Mission Log updates during an active mission.

Also... pressing "j" (jettison) followed by a number n no longer drops the nth item in the cargo bay. After using the mouse to jettison the spurned cargo, pressing "j" again doesn't close the window.

I did some procuring missions and every time when I wanted to see my updated standing I had to leave station. IE if the standing is changed when you're entering station you see non-updated value in Character->Faction Standings

Also we still have problem with chat disappearing when entering station/dieing/opening PDA

We can't abort a mission in space.

Aleksey: disappearing chat? That's the first I've heard of it. (that i remember)

/mission brings up the PDA.

ray, I mean if I start typing a message while entering station and don't send it to channel before station UI appears the message will disappear
Jul 11, 2006 raybondo link
Ohh I see.

Aleksey: open/click on a chat line then tap the down arrow once. Your message will appear.

Also, I have been victim to the much older chat bug where some chat messages are not received when you are jumping/docking/undocking. I am able to verify that this is happening by using the IRC relay--if the message appears on the relay but not ingame, the line was dropped somehow (My ignore list is empty as it usually is, so it's not that.)

If you type something in the chatbox, then either unmaximize or maximize the chat box, your partially-typed message goes away.

Leber: My solution for Aleksey also works in that particular case.

Thanks, Miharu!

One more annoyance: it used to be that in navigation comp you could hit u to undo last click. Now it switches to another PDA tab.

The text in the info box in the station menu gets cut off if your ship has a long name like corvus merc maud.
