*[13.9] Server info still displayed after server deselected

Post by Killerbee »

Found another bug

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the multiplayer browser
2. Select a game
3. Change the filter/searchtext
4. Try to join the game you had selected

Also something else I noticed is that the game allows you to try to connect to a server even though it knows you can't join because of a mod mismatch.
It would be better if the join button was disabled.
I'm not sure if that is a bug or by design so I added it to this report.

I don't get it, if you switch from "No" to "Yes" the server you selected can not come up in the following query?!

Edit: But even if it also happens when changing different attributes, I would argue that if you want to join a selected server, click on join, not on the search parameter ;)

That the game doesn't appear in the list is just a coincidense.
It also happens when I change the filters and the game still exists in the list.
But my expectation is that because I selected a game I should be able to join it.
It appears that changing filters will reset the selected game but it won't update the interface.

My suspicion is that "Join game" doesn't use the selected game but will try to use the game selected in the list.
Because the list changed due to changing filters it won't be able to find a selected game.

Ok, but then the issue is that the server info is still displayed after the server got deselected, not that you can no longer join it.
