Starmade | Clicking on the tab scoreboard while in build mode places the selected block
Confirmed task for development, Needs Triage/UnclassedPublic
Actions

Description

The example in the title: while in build mode pressing and holding the Tab key and clicking to sort on any of the columns (faction name for example) will place a block on the surface behind the scoreboard.

Similar issue:
When re-sizing UI elements using the drag controls in build mode, sometimes a line of blocks is placed behind that UI element (where you dragged the mouse)

Basically, interacting with UI elements does not always block the player from executing unintended actions in the game while in build mode

holding tab and clicking will place/remove blocks if the reticle is in a position where it could perform the action
https://youtu.be/R88RJQMmQVU

the only resizing element i could find that would also place blocks in build mode is the build entity info window
https://youtu.be/aGip7ajKXu8

several user interface elements allow interaction outside themselves when interacting within the element

  • when interacting within the tab menu the hotbar is fully active leading to unintended shooting and in build mode leading to unintended block placement/removal where the screen reticle last was before tab was pressed
  • The chat menu leaves the hotbar enabled meaning any left or right clicks within chat will activate the hotbar item (leading to inadvertent jump drive activation, weapon firing, effects activation, cloak and radar jammer activation, inner ship remote activation). The chat menu disables placing blocks in build or astronaut mode yet astronaut mode still allows activation of personal items (laser, rocket launcher, sniper rifle fires but wont toggle zoom, healing beam, power supply beam, torch, marker beam will input but not record position, the grapple beam will not function if chat is open)
