Starmade | MAIN MENU: Confirmation dialog box for applying changes appears behind other windows
Closed, RejectedPublic

Description

If you switch out of the settings screen after making changes, the confirmation dialog box "Some settings have been changed. Apply?" appears behind any other windows. This results in confusing behaviour (can't switch to other screens/windows in the main menu), since the window blocks any input behind it.

I think it might happen in case of latency or lags.

I had reported a bug really similar on the former site [http://bugs.star-made.org/issues/1904 - Tutorial: NPC-00's Radio versus Direct talks issues - Lucky path (trivial) and Powned path (game stuck) ]
I suppose the bug is still active but I can't test it since T748 - NPC-000 falling through floor still there.
In a nuts it's a reversed overlay of menu : the active menu is behind the inactive menu, so we can't push button of the active menu since it's not in foreground and we are stuck with 2 open menu which are unclosable.

That is possible, but this is an old issue and back in those dev builds error handling + its message was handled in a completely different way. Most likely it doesn't occur anymore with the new way, haven't seen it since then.

I was able to reproduce :

Option menu ==> Keyboards
Then for the first entry (player status I guess) I switch it from END to DIVIDE and then END again. I apply but nothing appear at the forehand menu since it masks the confirmation menu.
I close the option menu and I see the confirmation menu open which ask me if I want to apply a changement concerning a total random key (not even the 1st entry key, it was GUI screenshot and 2nd test one of the strafing button). *

I was talking about trying to open another menu on the main menu before closing the settings screen and hitting the confirmation box to implement the changes.

Different from what Croquelune mentioned, but that is an issue as well. I didn't test keybinding.
