This kinda follows on from my report on this menu in 1.0.1.2, but a lot has been changed around, and theres a bunch of new issues, so I've started a new thread.
Still true. This is a real problem, especially given it's interaction with the other issues, below.
(2) The scroll bar position no longer seems to carry between tabs, but you can't scroll down in the Steam tab while it's loading snapshot thumbnails. Not with the default sorting options anyway (by Creation date, descending - think those are default). [1m06s in first video.]
(3) When you have the "Show Advanced Option" section open the content of that gets pushed off the bottom of the screen by the "Cannot deploy" warning message (can just see the search bar, which is still usable).
Sorry, this video is not very task focused.
(4) You can't right click interact with anything in the world while the load menu is open. What's the point in having it off to the side if other interactions are going to be blocked? May as well put it in the middle of the screen, as it was.
(5) WASD (and arrow keys, etc) are intercepted by the menu, scrolling through selections, etc. I guess that's necessary for console compatibility, but it's horrible for (PC) gameplay, in that you have to fully close the menu just to shuffle over your current tech a little, can't provide a little control input to keep it from rolling away, or quickly killing a little enemy with [Space] or picking it up in build beam. And drive/fly-by turret drops, etc, are now completely out of the window (they were fun).
(6) You can't press [Tab] to quickly close the load menu as we used to (I used to - opening and closing inventory briefly). Or [Esc]. However, you can click to anchor/unanchored and take snapshot overrides it, but then returns to the menu. Mission log overrides and then closes it (very inconsistent).
(7) You can lock yourself out of the advanced options section, even while selections are made within that section. This is the worst bug with it so far. e.g. by bringing up the "View Tech Blocks" information and then switching tab.
I was able to restore access by going back and selecting a tech I was able to deploy and triggering the "Cannot Deploy" warning messages:
(1) After clicking on the Steam Workshop tab the game will continue to work on loading and populating the thumbnails, even if you close the window.
