[2.0.21] 'Shift + Left-click' overwrites train stop instead of adding it to schedule when zoomed in

Post by fredthedeadhead »

Before starting, enable the option that shows keyboard shortcuts,.

1. Place a train station.
2. Place another train station.
3. Shift + right click train station from step 1, to copy the train station settings.
4. Place a train.
5. Now, open the train schedule manager.
6. Note the tooltip says "Shift + Left-click: Add the selected stop to the schedule".
7. Zoom in, so the view shows the actual train stop, not the map view.
8. Shift + Left-click on the station from step 2.

Expected: The step-2 station is added to the train schedule, because that's what the keyboard shortcut tip says.

Actual: The settings from step-1 station are copied onto step-2.

This behaviour isn't obvious, and can throw a train network into chaos.

Thank you! This one bugged me, having to zoom out to change the schedule.

Note, the fix is to not show the hotkey tooltip when zoomed in since the controls specifically are setup to disable themselves when zoomed in.

Oh darn. I guess that's better than nothing. It would be really nice if the train gui map stayed in map mode for another couple zoom levels so that it's easier to select close-together station icons
