Cant right click containers

[ficolas]

For some reason im not able to right click anything in the map (containers, boilers, etc), im can place entities, and I can right click anywhere but to open containers, I have restarted factorio, and it still doesnt work, so now im going to reinstall it.
I have also tried to make a new game.
Edit: it may have something to do with the hotbar, when I clear it it works fine.

And it doesnt allways happen.

This looks like some change of control settings (opening and building are different settings, set to the same key).

@ficolas
Are you maybe expiriencing low FPS?
It is posible that in such scenario the game sometimes misses some key presses or releases. This could result in game thinking that some key is still pressed while it has already been released. So maybe try to pressing CTRL or ALT keys to see if it solves your problem.

Nope my fps were fine, and the problem wasnt that for each 10 clicks only 1 was recognised or something, the problem was that I coulnt open stuff till Idid a change in the inventory.

I found one bug that could be related.
When I opened armor gui from my inventory and than moved the armor to some container wile the gui was opened (by control click), but the same would appear if something else would cause me to loose the armor item.

The armor gui was closed correctly, but I couldn't open any gui until I did something else, I noticed this and fixed while fixing some other armor-gui related bugs.

Couldn't it be the reason of your bug?

Anyway, when this happens, it is worth a try to save the game, the bug might stay in the save. If we get hand on that, we would probably find the cause very quickly.

Moved this to pending.

That may be the problem, I will give a save if I can, but the weird thing is that it was persisting even when creating a new game.
