Ship construction screen cannot be removed

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello,
Just started testing so this may be known: the 'Done' button on the ship contruction screen does not remove the screen, so you are forced to exit the game to get back to play. There is no other way I see to remove this screen.

Does this happen when a ship is currently being designed, and it asks you "Are you sure you want to leave the screen?"

Hi BoogieBac,
Sorry I should have been more specificm, this happens when you 'Go to Planet' after a GNN turn report:

1) GNN pops up with new items built, say a constructor.
2) Choose goto planet. The ship pick list comes up.
3) From here choose 'Shipyard' on lower left.
4) Choose 'New' (or 'Upgrade').
5) Cannot now get out of contruction screen.

I just had it happen by clicking the shipyard button on the bottom row of buttons... It lets you click the "done" button but nothing happens... Note also that you can access all other menus and close those no problem but the ship design menu just sits there.

it happens to me too. i will be building a ship and usually it happens when i accidently put a part in the wrong place (because the red dots show through the hull when they are on the other side) and i go to remove the misplaced part, it won't come off, then the build screen locks into place. i can bring all of the othe screens up except the map. i can even bring another build screen up.

I had the same bug. Thus happened when I tried to design a ship. I selected hull, propulsion, weapon, then wanted to add some structure. I didn't understand how to do it/what it would do as nothing seemed to happen. I tried to select a slot, then add the structure by dragging and driopping it. Nope. I saw a scrollbar in the ship view, fiddled with it and saw the structure superposed to the ship zoomed in/out. I clicked on other structures, and ended up unable to leave. More exactly, the "done" button would do nothing, but I could open other screens. I'd never be able to see the map back because of the ship design pane, though.
I never got a 'are yuou sure" or other confirmation screen, the done button just seems to fo nothing.
I realized I saw the structure part I was trying to add in the upper left part of the screen, like the thing was put on top of the screen.
