My map generator preview screen seems to have multiple issues. (see full screen capture)
Issue 1: The preview screen obscures the resource sliders. (see detail)
Issue 2: The preview screen obscures the Play button
Issue 3: The terrain generated does not change. Clicking the 'refresh' button will regenerate the exact same world with resources that are the same size in the same locations. I can change the sliders through the preview screen which will modify the resource patches, but they will always be the same size and location at a given frequency (i.e. 100% frequency iron always gives the same iron patches, no matter what other sliders do or refreshing, 600 % frequency iron will always be the same no matter what).

There have been multiple reports about this since the release of .18.
.19 is in the process of being released right now and should fix, at least, the first two problems.

Not sure about the third one. I haven't noticed it in .17 & skipped .18 so if it's specific to .18 then .19 might fix it.

Same settings including seed = same world, so I dont see any problem with 3. It sounds like you are saying "I am changing nothing, it's changing nothing and I think that's wrong" which makes very little sense to me. Could you please elaborate further.

I thought that the 'refresh' button was supposed to generate a new seed as well? It sounds as though similar problems have been reported, so I'll wait to see if .19 fixes the issues.

No. You have to press "random seed" for a new random seed.

Updated to .19, the issues were fixed.
