[0.10.12] Clicking in map mode with item on cursor places it

Post by Boogieman14 »

So I had the game in map display while I still had an item selected on the cursor. I tabbed to another window for a moment, then to get back to the game, I clicked inside the game window. This placed the item in the game world.

Don't you normally place items in map mode by left clicking?
To select a window, try clicking on the window top bar instead of in it, or simply tab to it instead.
I presume you can do these things in Mac and Linux like you do in Windows.

Actually switching between applications have nothing to do with the bug.
The bug is that you can place items while the map is open. Which is at the very least weird.
If you ask me, I prefer to drag-to-pan map with mouse and use wasd to move character while map is open.

Yeah, I should've explained that a bit better probably, I was just describing the context in which I noticed the problem.

That sums it up well.

Right, that is wierd, if the map is full screen and blocking the view of the game world, then you shouldn't be able to interact with the world, so yeah, a bug.
