F2 Unit Handbook problem??

Post by XLVIIIPzKorp »

I'll often scroll through the unit handbook after selecting a unit on the map. I have noticed a wrinkle(?) with the new patch. If you scroll with the small arrows the unit name changes, along with the picture but the text remains the same. As you see below I selected a truck on the map, hit the F2 key and began to scroll through units. In this example I scrolled to the Tiger as the name and picture show but the descriptive text is still for my originally selected truck. [&:] Never use to be like that. [:@] Think we could get that fixed? [:D]

Thanks for any fix [&o]

I just checked with 1.0 vanilla and the text does scroll with the picture as it should. I'm not sure which patch caused the description to stagnate on the first unit selected.

Note however that after scrolling through multiple units (post 1.0), if you scroll down the description text you will see all of the previous units descriptions in one long string. Seems like an easy fix but I know with this code that is not always the case.

Bug confirmed.

With each new unit, its unit description is appended to the text. You can scroll down to the end to see the unit text of the current unit. But of course that's not how it's supposed to work.

Sorry, will be fixed in 2.01.

Bug found, squashed. The bug? A single errant '+' character. [:(]

Finding and fixing bugs should always be this easy! I wish. [8|]

Sorry, no immediate work-around for this problem.

The fix will be available in the next and all future patches.
