Button flyover text issue
Posted: Tue Jun 14, 2011 8:49 am
I have this little issue that pops up every now and then: When I look at the resupply button and then the elite replacements button I get the flyover text with the text. Every now and then I am in doubt which one to use at a certain moment. It happened to me more then once that I went over the buttons with my mouse, decided to use elite replacements but accidentally pressed on the fly-over text of the supply button instead of the replacements and get stuck with only supply. This doesn't happen all the time but at some moments the text of one buttons obscures the other button for a large part. Now if I was patient I would take my mouse away from both buttons and all is fine. But should the fly-over text trigger the button or should only the button itself be the trigger to the action.
It is at moments very inconvenient because there is no undo and a supplied strength 2 tank close to the enemy for example is not pleasant. After supply it can also not run away etc.
To sum it up. The text triggers the button that it is connected with but sometimes (not al the time and not even most of the time) hoovers for the most part over another button but triggers the button it is connected to. If you react without caution you choose the wrong action without option to undo. It is no real problem if you just take the mouse away and then back but still it happened to me a few times with devastating results because I clicked too fast.
