Path menu empty

[sockeyejo]

This is something I've been meaning to report for a while but kept forgetting. When I open the path menu, it's empty and I have to click one of the other path types and click back to see them. Please can this get fixed asap?!

I’ve not seen this before. Have you added it to the issue tracker?

I get this all the time, but it doesn't bother me, because it costs me just 2 more clicks/one second more as a workaround.

So we shouldn't report bugs or ask for fixes?

No, mainly because the tracker seems overly complicated on first glance.

If it's really a problem for you, then go and report it. It certainly is a bug.
But I tend to overlook these things, because it is more trouble to fill in the issue tracker than to use the workaround.

The issue tracker is the place to report bugs… it’s not all that complicated. Raising issues on the forum is more likely to result in someone helping out with a workaround (as shirandhak has done) than the issue being resolved by Frontier.

The tracker really is overly stressful when you're not very good at filling in forms but it's done.

I have the same issue at times. It doesn't really get on my nerves so I haven't reported it, but I can see how it would be annoying for some. Not really helpful information but at least you know you're not alone in the issue.

I think it's a fairly common bug. I get it quite frequently too, and considering all the other issues I wish Frontier would address, this falls pretty low on my list.

 

[sockeyejo]

It might not seem like a major issue but I have tendon problems in my wrist and every extra, unnecessary click of the mouse could aggravate it. There's enough extra clicking in the game as it is (placing paths, for example, rather than being able to paint it) so stuff like this can see me not being able to play at all.

Also, the attitude of "it doesn't bother me so yawn" isn't especially friendly or helpful.

 

[shirandhak]

There never was a "yawn" - just a "yes, we have the bug, too", a workaround and a "fill in the issue tracker, if you dislike the workaround". There is one problem and two possible solutions for it. Both are mentioned here. What other reaction would have been more helpful or friendly?

(And maybe a gamepad would work better for your hand than a mouse)
