"Sticky" player popup boxes

hefalumps · 12-29-2021, 06:23 PM

I just migrated my league from OOTP 21 to 22 and I'm encountering a rather annoying issue with the player popup boxes when in the "Lineup & Starting Pitcher" tab of the screen where you play out the games that didn't happen with OOTP 21.

It only happens when I have "Show customizable player list" checked. When in the mode where it shows both position players and pitchers in a single screen, it works fine.

If I drag a player from the customizable player list into my lineup, the player popup for the player I just dragged into the lineup remains "stuck" on the screen, even after I move my mouse away from the player. I have to click elsewhere on the screen to clear it.

I can work around it by quickly moving my mouse away from the player's name after I release the button to drop him in my lineup. But if I leave it in that slot, the player's name sticks.

It's a minor annoyance for a very specific situation, but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this. I know there aren't too many patch cycles left for OOTP22, but if there's one left, maybe this could make it in?

Thanks!

Yeah, I play out all of my games on pc and this has happened since release. Minor enough annoyance that I never reported it or asked for fix. Nor, until now, have I seen anyone report it.

A fix would be nice but I think we're down to hot fixe time? Probably good you brought it up now so it hopefully is seen and can be fixed for v23.

Glad it's not just me.

I guess that's the problem with my strategy of waiting until nearly the final patch to migrate my saved game to the next version - if I find anything wrong that no one else has found or reported, it might not get fixed!

Oh well, hopefully for 23...
