Hello,

Currently it occurs in any and all my world saves, including completely vanilla. When you attempt to click "check code", "help" etc. It highlights as if it as been pressed but nothing happens (Including the close "X"). There is a blue box around the code editing box whenever you go to click anything else.

It seems the world file is too large to attach so I have put a dropbox link to it instead. Let me know if this doesn't work and if you need anything else

Cheers

Same issue on my side. Editing of Scrips is not possible at the moment no matter if I load an old Save or by starting a new world with no mods. The Problems are as described by Squishi

@Vincent and @Squish; I've been able to work around that issue by clicking both the right&left mouse buttons on the button at the same time. Not a fix of course, but it's at least meant I could use PBs.

I can confirm this works. It needs spamming at times and is a good work around. Hopefully it might indicate to keen what is not working properly

Cheers for that!

Hello, Engineers!

Thank you for your attached world, @Squish, however I wasn't able to reproduce this issue. The buttons were still clickable. Can you please provide us with more information?

Also getting this bug. Happened on an existing world out of nowhere - including on a programmable block that has worked fine for weeks. Tried to copy/paste the block, tried on single player, verifying files through Steam - same issue.

I can confirm.

Also I noticed that when spamming left and right mouse click over any chosen button, after some time the button works, all other work for a few seconds too,

Yes it is still occurring. The fix of spamming left and right mouse button at the same time still works but it is a hassle. I also have times when it works perfectly fine. I have tried using it without any other applications open on my pc as well and it still happens. I'm not sure what other information I/we could provide as it just appears to be an interface issue. Let us know if you need any specific information, if that helps

Oh, just noticed this click trick was written up there....

P.S. I want to share what I am working on, it's a screenshot, I hope you like it ;)

ok, so I'm having the same issue. However (at least in my case), if I right-left click on any of the buttons in the editor that open another interface ('Check Code', 'Help', 'Browse Scripts') and the interface for that actually opens, the rest of the programmable block interface works just as intended.

If you exit the editor and reopen it, the error "resets"

Edit:

The error also "resets" if you click into the code window

Hey Keen, I've got the same problem. I do play modded but once this bug occurred it wouldn't stop on even vanilla game play. I validated my files, and am now attempting a full re-install. I uploaded an unlisted video on youtube to show you guys.

I don't quite know how to reproduce it as it had no apparent trigger. I've been playing quite a bit playtime in and it just started happening to me.

The one thing i did notice was the text box for entering the code in the pb was not the correct size.

After editing the script, push check code with right then left mouse buttons many times until the script gets checked.

Then push Ok button. This works for me.

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?

Kind Regards

I was playing Space Engineers and I had the same issue. When I tried to click "OK", the button did not work. After some more testing, all of the buttons did not work and did not respond to hovering the cursor over the button. I then found out that holding right click makes the buttons act like normal like the other menus. It seems the issue here is that the buttons are randomly requiring you to hold right click in order for them to work. I tested the buttons with my trackpad instead of my mouse and it had the same issue also.

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.

I think it happens when you have many mods enabled in a world as I don't have any issues without mods enabled.

It happens when I have no mods enabled as well. I have been using the same 2 mods for months now and had no issues. One is a mod I wrote myself.

It literally just started happening less than 30 minutes ago with a world I have been using for weeks. There was no reason whatsoever that I saw that could have caused it.

Update on my problem. It went away. I started the game today and its completely fine. I changed nothing. Same map, same mods, same everything. All I did in-between was reboot my PC. So very strange this bug.

Ah yeah just started having this again, buttons highlight when clicked on but don't un-highlight, do remember there was something i could press that fixed this previously when i've experienced this.... but..... really can't remember what that key combo was... will update this if i do find it

Okay, remember it being a key combo that "fixed" it in the past, but now spamming left/right click on the browse button seems to make the input register

I have the same issue, not sure what causes it, or what really fixes it. But if i spam LMB and RMB on the CHECK CODE or OK or STEAMWORK SHOP it finally gets the click on. I normally click UNDER the button and not actually on it. Kinda annoying but i figured it would get fixed so never dug down tot he exact cause. Next time ill pay look closely at what i do that finally works.

You don't need to spam-click, Chris, just hold down the right mouse button and otherwise use the mouse as normal.

Lukas Gallinat ●

just had this issue come up while playing on a server. i can open the scrip editor but none of the buttons work. when clicked they dont un-highlight, cant use the x to leave it but i can leave the editor through Esc. i tried to delete the SpaceEngineers.cfg but that didnt change anything. i even tried it after reeinstalling the game and it still didnt work.

i dont know what else to try out and nothing seems to work to go arround this.

Hello, Engineers!

Unfortunately, we still aren't able to reproduce this issue.

May I ask if any of you still experiencing the issue? It would be a great help if you could share a saved world and the log file with us where you can experience this issue, along with a screen record/video.

Any added information will further help us to investigate this issue.

We are looking forward to assisting with this issue.

Kind Regards,

Hello, Engineers!

Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.

If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.

Thank you for understanding.

Kind Regards

I've got the same problem.

But I found a way to escape this.

I could push all of buttons on scrip editor window by pressing left mouse button while pressing right mouse button.
