[0.18.41] Rail Placement on Map Mode doesn't act as expected

Post by PiggyWhiskey »

It appears the Rail Placement tool (Not the ghost placement) is failing from the Map

To get an allowed location to place the rail, you need to click and drag, which moves the Map around as well, resulting in multiple random pieces placed, but not triggering the Rail Placement tool.
Ghost Placement works as expected.

Simple recording is attached (Instant place of Ghost rails is due to Creative Mod)

Outside of the Map Mode, it performs as expected (Triggering Rail placement tool on Mouse Button up)


I can't test on a vanilla world at the moment due to the BP bug causing a crash (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=87486)

Changelog for 0.18.42 "Don't drag map when in zoomed in map mode and building blueprints."

I'm guessing this applies to this bug, but there doesn't appear to be any change in the behaviour in-game.

This actually extends to placing any entity from map view that isn't a ghost. Not too important for normal vanilla, but quite annoying in sandbox mode or with increased reach distance.
Normal clicking does nothing, but moving the mouse while holding the button down will place the entities, but also move the camera, making it less then ideal. (See attached video)
I assume this is the same problem as with the rail planner, so I'll just post this here for now instead of making a new topic.

Since I could reproduce it in 0.18.41, but couldn't in 0.18.42 (that is just about to be released), I assume it to be fixed.
