[2.0.14] Prototype explorer window gets non-interactable

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[2.0.14] Prototype explorer window gets non-interactable

Post by Hanakocz »

Hello, this issue makes the Prototype Explorer window to be non-interactable by mouse when certain actions are done.

How to reproduce:
1) Open Prototype Explorer window (either Ctrl+Shift+E or Ctrl+Shift+F)
2) Do some of the actions listed below
3) The prototype window now cannot be interacted with by mouse at all (moving, clicking buttons, or even closing it). The only way to interact with it is either pressing E or Escape, which closes the window. Closing this window via those keys can be done even while in other views (like on technology screen!)

Actions, that I found that break the interactability:
1) Changing surfaces
2) Opening Technology window
3) Opening Map
but there might be more...

Thanks for the report. I don't have a solution to this given the logic added in 2.0/space-age around remote view and how it causes this kind of non-intractability problems. At best, I could force-close those windows when those actions happen but that doesn't seem nice either.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
