Buttons not working in Programmable Block
Won't Fix
Hi,
In 1.194 while trying to load a script, the buttons on the programmble block didnt work. "OK" "HELP" "CHECK CODE" and so forth.
Also I couldnt exit the edit program.
I managed to find a work around: Spamming right-click, left-click for a few seconds activated the buttons.
I cound send the save game, but the file is too large.
Best,
Gøran
I have the same bug
Hello, Engineer!
I wasn't able to reproduce your issue. Can you please make sure that you have "In-game scripts" enabled in Advanced options?
Thank you.

I can confirm I have had this problem for a couple of days. A player on steam put forward a temporary fix which is to right , left click and hit enter in quick succession to browse scripts.

I am experiencing the same bug, I compiled my code once, went to check if text on screens appear well, then came back to editing script, I can change any code, but neither one of the buttons work anymore, I can't even close the editor. I left the game multiple times, same thing. I tried pressing recompile and going back into editor, not a single button works. I even replaced programming block with another one, same thing.

Just tested out what All Mu said, temporary solution is to left click then right click then press enter on "Help" button. After we do it, we can compile the code and close the editor.

Same as the https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/general/topic/programmable-block-bug bug I think - but I confirm I'm also getting this.

I'm getting this complete with left click/right click/enter spam eventually allowing me to press buttons. I've tried restarting the game, disabling mods, a fresh save and validating game files. Another thread suggested updating GFX drivers, but mine are already up-to-date.

Hi -
I have the same problem on my Dell G5. Unfortunately, none of the published work around a work for me. They include doing multiple mouse clicks, alt key pressing, simultaneous mouse clicks, etc. My mouse pad seems to be enough different from a mouse that they don't work for me.
I did discover that I could hold the RMB down and press escape to get out of edit and save it.
The only thing that works for me is to reboot my computer. Then it works fine for a while. I thought the bug was caused by copying and pasting, but can't reproduce that. Just now, I did a bunch of fast keystrokes backspacing, typing, then down arrow and repeat. After this the buttons stopped working.
You can fix this whenever you can, but I sure would appreciate a workaround that doesn't require me to keep rebooting.
BTW, my MMB doesn't exist which makes it harder to use the build planner. I tried various workarounds for that including changing the windows two fingers tap to do it and Auto Hotkey without any luck. Need a substitute way to access all MMB functions.

Hello, Engineers!
Unfortunately we still weren't able to reproduce this issue. Can you please try to delete SpaceEngineers.cfg (it means your game configuration will be deleted) file and let me know if it helped you?

Oh, sorry, I forgot. I also changed Windows to open the window the mouse pointer is hovering over. That's an option in the mouse set up I think, or pointing devices. Somesuch option. That may or may not be what makes my workaround work.

I've just had the same issue too, and I may have noted something important:
- I did NOT have this issue UNTIL I used the Script Browser and pulled up one of my old scripts from it yesterday.
(the old script had been written a couple of years ago. I prefer to copy-paste to an external text editor as it has syntax highlighting and also lets me save my scripts outside of the game)
Until I did this, the buttons along the bottom worked perfectly. Now, they won't go until I do that left/right click thing. The bug is therefore probably related to the browse/workshop integration system.

I've attached some logs. The problem happened specifically right before I saved/exited, so should be towards the end of the log file.

Just had this, was working fine and now the buttons won't work properly. I can edit the script so far without problems but the buttons keep breaking.

This same problem exists with all buttons, in the antenna menu, the terminal, dialogs, I have even see this in the main menu. Whatever the cause the "click event is not always fired/handled".

My solution to this was to HOLD right mouse, and then casually press left mouse.. And release both. No rushing, or trying to press Enter as stated above.. Can be done in a leisurely speed.
[Right Mouse Down], [Left Mouse Down], [Release Both]

Same problem here. Today my script editors buttons refuse to work!
I only tried to load a script to a new Programable block (there are four already running) and the buttons when pressed they just change color and nothing ales happens.
I tried all the above and also completely uninstall/reinstall the game which I thought would solve the issue.
It didn't!
I also removed the appdata\roaming\SpaceEngineers folder and let the game start thus recreating the folder and subfolders and started a new game! I thought that this maybe eradicate any issues from third party mods or corrupted files within the folder.
Still the same... It didn't work!

I am all of a sudden having this problem as well. And if I recall its the 2nd time its happened to me! It was literally years ago when it happened. I don't remember what exactly I did but seem to think I re-installed the whole game to fix it.
I can't believe Keen has not fixed this yet or even re-create it. There are at least 2 other bug threads in this support site on this bug. I up voted them both just now.
The issue has nothing to do with world saves. It has nothing to do with key bindings a user has set. What is happening is the code window is taking the focus of the mouse click far outside its bounds. It takes it instead of the buttons. Please use this knowledge to find root cause of this.
Thanks.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know, this is real in 2022-03-23 in the most updated version as well.

- Earth planet scenario (maybe this is the reason?)

Can confirm for me too. Yesterday it worked flawlessly, today it started happening for me. The workaround to keep the right mousebutton pressed while left-clicking on the button fortunately worked for me as well.

Hello, Engineers!
I have just reproduced the issue here https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/25067-japanese-ime-bug which is while holding down the tilde key at the same time as changing the language to Japanese. I noticed when trying to get out of the 'stuck' situation that clicking the tilde key once more whilst out of the game, got me to where the buttons worked again. I wonder if this would help you at all?
Unfortunately, I am unable to find myself in the scenario where the buttons do not work (unless doing the steps in the Japanese language issue) to test this. It would be interesting to hear if this helps any of you at all or if it does not make a difference.
