I didn't take the time to list all actions that could cause the mouse buttons to stick, will, on request, if the fix is specific to every individual action.
So...I mean, fix it if required, but I use this "trick" all the time to make cool screenshots of my mining ships. Every fix breaks someone's workflow.
the way i see it, it can also lead to punching holes into ships with the retrieve tool. may i be so bold as to suggest a sytem like in SE where you can doubleclick to turn tools on? i mean, that being said, not that my assessment of severity really matters here, but i didnt exactly put it at critical
Heh, no, your assessment was correct. Especially knowing that it can lock a weapon into active mode, instead of just having the visual effect present.
