Please keep in mind that i've seen this in build 14 beta 3, so if this has been fixed already, i apologise.
Before you ask, this isn't about the difference in land and sea controls. I've done some thinking on that particular issue myself, and i've not come up with a solution, so i'll leave it.
This is about a minor problem with how the controls work in the game's various menus. I've noticed the following:
-Many screens have a scroll bar. This can only be operated by clicking the bar and moving it up and down. Not by clicking the arrows at their top and bottom, like i'd expect. Not necessarily a problem, but would be nice if it were fixable.
-In the options menu, this bar does not work. You need to use the arrow keys instead.
-When reading a skillbook, pressing escape doesn't work, like it would in any other menu.
-Scrolling in the quest book can only be done with the scroll bar.
-Scrolling in the skill book can only be done with the scroll bar.
-I'm starting to doubt my memory on this one, but i don't think you could use the arrow keys in any menu other than the options menu.
The bottom line is that consistency is a pretty big deal when it comes to the controls, and i'd like to see more of it. Is using both the arrow keys and the mouse an option for menus, or is the game bound to only one type of controls? If the latter is the case, it would be best if everything worked via the scroll bar, since that thing's there for a reason anyway. Alternatively, we could use the W and S keys, since those are used for dialogue as well. Consistency between dialogue options and the menus with text would be a good thing, and the arrow keys are a bit too far out of the way.
