Selecting research project requiring drones - game not responsive

from GalCiv4 Forums

Hi, 

Found a bug that if the player is fast enough to open the Research screen before the popup to select population of a ship appears and double click a research project that requires drones the game doesn't display on the "front" the drone dialogue popup but on the "back" of the research page making the research page unresponsive. 

Every time the player selects the same project (either by double-click or select-click and click Done button) the game will generate a new dialog popup on the "back". It doesn't bring forward the existing dialog. So multiple dialog popups can be open. (managed to get 10 of them). 

The player has to select a project without requiring drones to be able to close the Research screen,  then refuse/accept each one of the open Drone dialogues (if you click yes doesn't spend the drones) and then select the pop for the ship (constructor, colonial etc). 

Please find attached a save 1 turn before the end of the current research project to replicate. Is pretty tricky but but can be replicated easily if you are fast enough and a project requiring drones is for selection. :grin:

1 Does this occur after a restart?

2 Are you on the stable 1.04 build or the test 1.05 build?

3 Regardless when you have graphic glitches try verifying files first.

4 Sure it is not the ship needs population popup?

5 If a player skips a mandatory popup, they are not playing the game as designed so this would not seem to be a bug or glitch.

2. Last stable is 1.05 not 1.04. Game is updated last week. Is a brand new game with 1.05. 

3. Is not graphic glitch, is the popup and can be replicated.

gypsy2299,

Please see the topic "Getting Stuck Selecting New Technology" dated August 10th.  What Panos4860 is reporting looks very similar to what I reported in that topic.

2 Strange I read every post for GC4 here and on Discord and missed that stable had updated. I asked because the Devs need to know what version you are playing.

All the rest were standard questions and steps to make sure this was an actual bug report not your computer screwing around, your puter is not and it seems also to be a known bug reported before.
