Delete Button too touchy!

skywalkr2 · 05-31-2006, 05:21 PM

I receive news in my manager news screen, and I am going through reading/deleting. However it happens all too often that I miss important notes INCLUDING TRADE OFFERS!! because when I push delete... it deletes TWO news items... the one I am reading and the next unread message.

This is HIGHLY annoying and has been happening consistently.

Concur. By just holding the mouse button down you can delete your whole inbox very quickly.

Yikes.

I remember something similar in OOTP 5 and 6 when I was in my "Player Tracker". If you right click on someone, it's supposed to remove them from the Player Tracker. But everytime I did, it ended up removing TWO people - as if it removed one for each mouse press event (button down, button up) instead of one for the single right-click as a whole. Wonder if it's something similar here.

The only way around it was to tap VERY VERY lightly on my mouse and hope I only deleted one. I imagine that'd be an easy thing to patch tho.
