Engineer screen bug?

Im aware this issue has been posted about, but nothing has changed! No word from Frontier about this problem, it needs to be noticed.

The engineer screen, such as using the engineers workshop/remote workshop has a serious game breaking issue. On the modifications screen where you apply modifications, 90% of the time, clicking on a modification freezes all interaction with the screen itself, exiting doesn't work with any keys or with right click, the mouse does nothing at all, doesn't even highlight what youre mousing over, you cant navigate through the screen either with the arrow keys or WASD. The game still plays in the background and you can still look around and interact with your panels. But youre stuck on this screen with no way to add a modification to your modules. The only way to get out of this is to exit to main menu.

The main issue with this is that I cant add any mods, it freezes every time. And I have to go back to the main menu everytime.

Anyone aware of this issue or know where I can report it to the devs?

Edit: The screen is totally broken, nothing works and navigating with WASD before the crash, just makes text overlap, and doesnt actually highlight anything and will select random mods when you navigate via WASD.

Same problem here. Same engineer. I am using VR, have not tried on screen. In my opinion on screen this would be just another space shoot'em up.

It's very much known about... :) It's the second item on the list.

You can add your voice to the issue tracker here.

There is also a workaround (I'm not defending FD at all, but if you want to keep trying to engineer before it's fixed this might let you do it) that is described here. Make sure you have all the mats you will need for a blueprint before you try it...
