[0.18.42] ghost placement from map issue

Post by DanGio »

Hi, there's a bug discussed in the 0.18.42 release thread and I found a reliable way to reproduce it :

- start a new game
- pick a ghost (have the "pick ghost item if no items are available" option enabled)
- go to map view
- click to place ghost : nothing happens
- click and drag : ghost is placed multiple times around the cursor

here's a video showing the issue if needed : https://youtu.be/ETFBilHBi24

seems like it's because your map drag keybind is the same as placing blueprint, try changing it.

That should work without issue. That's the default setup and it works just fine for me.

Can you post your config.ini file (I want to see what your keybindings are setup as to see if I can reproduce it on my computer)

Ohh, the ghost cursor not blueprints. I missunderstood the report. That would be a bug with the game logic; it should work the same as blueprints do but the check is missing.
