Vanishing Recipes...


 

Posted

This evening, I had just bought a full set of Obliteration on the tank I've been working on. I was running with a friend, looking at the set pieces for which invention salvage pieces I needed for each and discussing with them on push-to-talk (I use my middle mouse click for speaking). While speaking with him, I clicked on one of the recipes to minimize it - and it vanished from my tray! During the confusion of the aftermath, a second recipe vanished as well as I was speaking to him. I never right-clicked to see the options to possibly delete the recipes, either. Is this a bug, or is something else strange happening?

Check the recipe filter in the bottom right of the Recipe Window (where it says "Hide...") Sometimes when talking to merit vendors or using invention tables etc. those get "enabled".

Nope. The number of recipes in the lower left (4/20, for example) actually went down; the recipe deleted without a right-click "Delete". I haven't been able to willingly duplicate the effort, though (bought some lvl 10 common IOs to test)... and I wouldn't be able to prove to the admins that it wasn't a mistaken right-click Delete or some other faulty complaint to get a free 'replacement', either. Frustration!

Copy the character to the Test server and test there. That way, if more stuff ends up deleted, it won't matter.

I wonder if the dialog box for the second one was hidden behind the first one. I almost deleted a global friend once because the 'OK' button for another dialog was on top of the 'Delete' button. It seemed that as far as mouse-clicks were concerned, both windows were active.

Was your machine lagging at all? If so, it may explain why the rt-click dialog for the second recipe might have been up. Initially, they all pop up in the same location.

I've actually had the WW porter dialog box disappearing on me instantly. Was standing in one of the Portal Corp buildings, activated the WW porter, it's dialog box opened and promptly diapered before I could even move my mouse.
