Steps to reproduce:

/c button = game.player.gui.screen.add{type = "sprite-button"}
/c button.sprite = "utility/close"
/c button.hovered_sprite = "utility/add"

At this point both hovering and clicking use the "utility/add" icon. This is fine as clicked_sprite is not set.

Code: Select all

/c button.clicked_sprite = "utility/search"

Now, both clicking and hovering shows "utility/search" icon, which is incorrect because hovered_sprite is still set to "utility/add".
Setting clicked and hovered in a different order also results in this issue.

I'll add that in the above example, button.hovered_sprite would be readable from Lua as "utility/add" despite not being displayed on the button.

In Factorio 1.1.110, clicked_sprite and hovered_sprite are completely distinct from each other, but there is no default assignment behaviour between them. Leaving either of these values blank will cause them to show the sprite-button's standard "sprite".

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
