Weird UI bug

[Edi]

Sounds like a Windows issue then. Try the sticky keys option (turn them off if they are on). Other than that, I'm afraid there's little that can be done.

I loathe that sticky keys thing. Why can't that be in a control panel? Jeez.

The best way to avoid sticky keys in Windows is never use the shift key to wake a computer up from sleep or anywhere else, since pressing shift down for more than 10 seconds or so will activate sticky keys or at least ask if you want to do it. I always use ctrl to do such waking up. It's an ingrained habit by now.

You can probably find how to turn them off from someplace inside system properties or wherever in Windows, probably Computer Management screen (r-click on My Comp and choose Manage) but where exactly, that's going to be a pain in the arse to find. I've no idea which parameter it is.

Not to derail the thread, but sometimes when I rename a unit, when I hit enter after typing the new name, instead of exiting out the name field back to the unit, the name field remains and the game changes from full-screen mode to windowed mode.

Only happens occasionally, and it's easy to switch back to full-screen again, so it's only a minor annoyance. Any ideas what's causing it though? WinXP OS.

No idea.

Its been a very very long time since I disabled sticky keys, but IIRC once you set them off, you get access to a menu controlling their different settings, including the setting that disables the "shortcut".

XP, its located under the accesibility wizard, IIRC.

Under Vista, it's located under the Ease of Access Center.
