BZ 2014: While creating the game write-ups, Player Report Pops Up Out of the Blue

Eugene Church · 02-11-2009, 05:38 PM

While creating the game recap write-up, player reports will suddenly pop up when I click the cursor on the "Write Game Recap" screen.

I am using the 9.2.13 version.

Is this a known bug?

Occasionally I click in the game recap write-up screen and the OOTPB Forums pop up.

This did not happen in V2007.

I have just converted my league to OOTP9.

It really seems like the click on the recap screen is picking up a player's link on the boxscore window beneath it.

I can't reproduce this one, EC. Are you writing recaps from the schedule screen or directly at the end of a game?

Because you're notorious for lagging behind, are you using 9.2.13?

There were some issues in older versions with some links being accessed incorrectly.

I write the recaps immediately after the end of the game. I also go back and sometimes edit the recaps from the schedule screen. I think it does it on both screens. I am not the only one it has happened to. 1998 Yankees confirmed he has the same problem.

Please note I posted in the first post that I am using 9.2.13.

I use the blue skin, if that could make a difference, but it also does it with the default skin...classic skin, I think.

I only lag behind on my own personal league. I only play my league with a stable game... about a month after the final patch.

I always use the latest build in testing and proofing the News and PBP, but not in my own personal league.

I did not write any recaps during the Beta testing. I only proof the News and PBP during Beta as well as write news stories and PBP items. During Beta I do not have any time for my own personal league. Plus, I don't want to run the risk of losing it or corrupting it with bugs or problems in the new version.

Oops. I did miss the version number. Thanks.

Hrm. Which screen resolution are you using? Are you using windowed or full screen mode? Which operating system are you using?

I think it is the windowed mode. OOTPB doesn't cover my entire screen.

I have Windows XP.

Sorry, don't know the screen resolution.

Where would I find that info?

If in windowed mode, let's go with window size. From the title screen, Game Preferences -> Window Size.

Ah heck. For monitor resolution, right-click on the desktop, select Properties, then the Settings tab, and it should be listed under Screen resolution.

Windowed.

1028 x 768.

I got it from Game Preference screen.

Nutlaw · 02-24-2009, 06:04 PM

Using the blue skin on Windows XP with the game run in 1024x768 windowed mode, I can often reproduce this one by repeatedly clicking on the recap box.

Nutlaw · 02-24-2009, 06:08 PM

Switching to modern skin changed nothing. Switching back to windowed 1280x1024 made the problem happen much less frequently, but I can still rarely create the issue by spam-clicking on the text box.

This is an entirely different issue than BZ 1447 and various incorrect links from the button links on the bottom of the screen.
