[UI maybe bug] Green Confirm button appears to have keyboard focus when it doesnt

Post by jdgordon »

Hi,

Not sure if you'd consider this a bug or not. The new green Confirm button on most dialog gives the impression that it has keyboard focus (i.e that pressing ENTER would press the button) when it doesnt.

Depending on which screen this happens on it can be very annoying or not even noticable.

In the changelog dialog (auto-popup after an update) I'd expect to be able to just hit ENTER to get out of the window and not need the mouse (The colour suggests it has focus). Ditto when renaming stations and you get the "Station name cant be empty" error message with again a green apparently-focused OK button.

These 2 especially don't have you already on the mouse so it is surprising. Other dialogs (like the settings) when you're very likely already on the mouse and hovering over other items changes colour makes it less obvious that there is a problem.

Cheers

EDIT: Just tested in the game load screen and it appears there ENTER does what you'd expect (i.e hit the confirm button) so it definitely is inconsistent at least.

Thanks for the report however that's working correctly. That's just the style of the confirm button.

The fact "enter" works in the load-game screen is unrelated and has always worked.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

(Didnt have reply notifications on, sorry for late reply).

Fair enough, would be a really nice addition though.
