Try hitting 'n' for navigation, then 'n' again to close it, it doesn't work the second time like it used to.

I think it's lost focus somewhere, and it won't let the hotkey be pressed in the navi bar.

And no, the chat bar is not stealing focus.

Re-assigning focus like clicking on a sector in the map re-allows the 'n' button to close the navigation menu again. Which is weird since it used to work without re-assigning focus.

Bump

This is actually pretty game breaky, considering I navigate the menus by key, and I actually almost got boomed because of the second I wasted trying to exit the menu via key, then using the scratchpad to exit. the mission menu seems to click out after the 3rd press, instead of the usual 2nd, and the nav doesn't exit at all via key press, just makes the click sound.

Thanks for the report. We'll fix this asap.

This should be fixed in a recent update.

Confirmed fixed in 1.8.364, thanks Ray!

Hmm, well this is weird. On the Nav screen, you have to press Esc twice to close it now.

ah, because the navmap control now takes focus when it is clicked and pressing Esc de-focuses it. Not sure what to do about that right now.

I've written an interface hack to address this problem while waiting for an official solution.
