Default Re: SEV suggestions/gripes

Main UI gripes with demo: 1) "Enter" key sometimes works, often doesn't. 2) Can't click into text box to change the middle of a name; you have to use the left arrow. 3) Tab key doesn't change tabs in UI; you have to click. 4) Clicking on sector with planet should pick planet by default; instead it picks nothing. 5) Clicking on planet brings up a large, pretty window, low on info. "What is it building??!!" You have to left-click, then click again on the construction tab. Aargh! 6) Default system magnification shows only MOST of the system. 7) Wierd inconsistencies in shortcuts for closely-related tasks. (But you can change that in full game, so that's not a biggie.) 8) Only 1st item in each planet's queue is shown in the overall construction queue (Shift-Q). 9) Planetary construction queue has picture where there should be info: "What does this planet already have??!!" You have to left-click the picture, then click on the Facilities tab.
10) PageUp and PageDown no longer work; you have to use the mouse scroll wheel.

In summary: Too many clicks. Carpal tunnel syndrome producer.
