trading post bug: difficult to change prices
Yes!
The problem is that the active box changes on mouse-over, instead of mouse-click. This is really horrible!!
omg someone gets it! its super frustrating!
There is also a visible discrepancy in that the arrow buttons are overlapping the text boxes. The layout is clearly bugged, and is confused as to where the player is trying to provide input.
The mouseover function is a separate issue (of bad design).
There are a couple of things that all combine to make it seem super buggy, although each seems like an intended design decision. (Mind you: they don’t seem like good decisions — they each make things look uglier or make transactions more frustrating, even if it weren’t glitchy.)
I have a reliable work-around:
- Move the cursor to the gold field — it also activates this correctly.
- Use [tab] to move the ‘focus’ to silver and again to copper; use [shift+tab] to move backwards to quantity.
- Alternatively, after activating ‘gold’, you can usually move your cursor to the other fields, without it glitching out.
Less reliably, I find if I move the cursor up from below (instead of above or from the sides), I can usually get the focus to be in the desired field.
Regardless, whoever is in charge of user interfaces ought to talk with some of the users of the TP to find out the features we don’t like and the ones we feel are missing from TP 2.1 (imo, 2.0 was the best iteration — tons better than 1.0 and simply better than the way it works today).
