Need Help Build14 Tabs not working

OK the good news is that the tabs are locked for me on the save game - so maybe it will be possible to hunt for why.
The even better news for now (for this instance of lock up) is that after F2 selecting any descriptive item (skills or choose outfit) with left mouse button and then closing it with right mouse button frees the tabs (escaping the box doesn't do it though). Done that several times - so repeatable for this case.

Like to try that @nich666 ?

EDIT If you try and exchange with an officer getting detail and closing the item description again clears it (but interestingly a left click prior to this gives you a description of gold even if you have scrolled along first - (so something not quite right there).

However buying an item in the store or blacksmith also clears it which I thought had been ruled out previously - so may be that I am not seeing exactly the same behaviour. I wait to see if it helps @nich666 ENDEDIT

In fact (for this save) it is even more insanely simple - once into the F2 menu or exchange with officer screen (and I presume corpse looting) simply clicking right mouse button alone clears the stuck tabs / exchange

WOW, @pedrwyth!

Hmmm. Could it be a mouse driver issue? I used to have a Logitech G500 mouse, and while it ran fine there were always little problems popping up. Things like the mouse and keyboard not always starting when the puter was fired up. And like the sound disappearing.

A new mouse stopped all that. This is just speculation.

Hi chaps, Back in the room. I have been up to other things like searching for a Leica. It reminds me of owning and running a boat; tearing up money and chucking it over the side.

It's not too difficult, but I can imagine it is a whole lot to grasp in one go.
Good knowledge to have got anyone who would ever consider modding himself though.

First off Pieter, That coding, as you suggested, is a lot to grasp and although I am not totally 'fik', it isn't clear enough for me to rummage around in.
It probably is as clear as day to a naval officer but us stokers down in the hold need step by step how too's.

@pedrwyth I have to ask (having two cats) is your avatar a cat or a smiley dog? Incidentally the smiley that blows himself up made me smile.
I thought I'd tried everything and you are right, a simple closing with the right click frees all tabs off in my game too!!!
Just when you reach an age when you think you know it all, you don't. Why I didn't try something so simple, I don't know.

Buying an item in the store did work for a time, but further on in the ~ (this) ~ game that stopped working altogether.
This latest idea looks like you've cracked it although what triggers the tabs sticking in the first place is a mystery [for now].

Not my issue unless there are several mices infected? I have a Roccat Kone. and shows no issues with the PC otherwise.

The Walking Dead monkey is still getting my goat although I managed to shut up the screeching, I still have to pause walking through a door and click again to tell it how much I love it...
I now have to follow @Grey Roger's suggestion adding the code to knock it off.

I also tried shooting the monkey, but he/she is as the Walking Dead, no effect.
I need to plow through the consol.c code to bury the screeching thing.

You found the correct place to add lines in "console.c" in post 23: between 'int limit;' and 'switch(0)'. Unfortunately the code I had suggested before then doesn't work.

Put:
Code:
Lai_KillCharacter(CharacterFromID("Monkey"));
in the same place. Then press F12 to get your revenge on the monkey. That does work, I tried it myself.[/code]

I still say just shooting it in the head is a simpler solution, if that code worked the satisfaction level would go through the roof even though I love animals.

For me it's a `seadog' without a doubt - but I have no context to know for sure what the artist intended
