Bug Description
I installed the RC from version 19 an tried a game on the map "Eiskriege". For getting into the game I did not choose any enemy. B ut as I tried to lay out some roads for the buildings to be attached to (later on) I was not able to put a flag to end the road.
So, I clicked at the flag of the headquarter, then clicked on the "road" symbol - the mini-windows jumped to another place on the screen, and then I had to click the road symbol once again. Just then was I able to lay out a road. But when I wanted to put an end to it, I was not able to, because everytime I clicked on the "flag"-symbol the mini-window jumped away to another place, but the flag was not set.
Happened in fullscreen and windowed mode.
I also expierenced exactly the same problem with one of the nightly builds I found somewhere on your website.
System:
Some Intel Xeon machine with 4 cores and HT, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 x86-64;
This might be related to whether you're in road building mode or not. We will need a bit more information to fully understand what is happening:
1. Go to Options -> Game. Is "Start building a road after placing a flag" (the first checkbox) on or off?
2. Can you make some screenshots (Ctrl+F11, files saved as described on https:/ /wl.widelands. org/wiki/ Technical% 20FAQ/# where-are- my-maps- and-savegames- stored) and attach them to this bug?
There might also have been no free space to build a road where you wanted it, because buildings, trees or unwalkable terrain are in the way.
