Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

Ok at first I thought maybe it was just something to do with my computer settings.

Can you do a quick test for me?  Try doing a select box at the closest zoom, then one for each step out.  I'm getting some odd behavior in the select box.

Odd in full zoom it appears as a green box but only in full zoom.

Edit: it also loses focus one zoom out.

Step out once and try again.  Then step out once more and try again.

I see what you mean its keeps getting off center until it disappears all together.

Edit: it also seems to only do this when you zoom in to full first.

Managed to SS what I'm seeing.  I'm starting the select box at the bottom left corner of the top left info box.

The area keeps moving as you zoom out.

Yes then if you try to re drag the box after releasing the mouse it goes back to the middle, but when you zoom out a little it disappears once more.

Edit: or where ever you, re drag it.

Yeah... it's being odd.  Ok.  Someone light up the bat-signal.

Yes also I tried moving it when you cannot see it and it comes into view it must some how be off-center in anything else but full zoom.

Thanks for the investigation :)  I've isolated the change responsible and let Chris know where to find it.  I'll let him take care of it because it may have been important to some of the things he's been fixing and I didn't want to unknowingly break them, etc.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games? Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Thanks for testing this with me until you said something I did not even notice the selection box only drew in full zoom or at all!
