I accidentally pressed escape while preparing carefully for the journey, which killed the task. When I try to embark again now, u-m-k-h keys do not move the cursor in the embark area anymore. U-M-K-H still resizes though

Weirdness. Guess I have to reinstall.

EDIT: after moving the bigger cursor enough to shift the middle map view, suddenly the u-m-k-h started working again.

I actually saw the local zone movement not working in 40_06.  Pissed me off a couple of times though it vanished so I never raised the point.  I tended to find that hitting shift and the umhk's to get resizing often free'd up the repositioning, or Esc'd back to menu and tried embark again (the esc bug not being present then) and assumed I had something funky with my keyboard.

Its possible that i saw this after trying to embark and having the process hang demanding a thread kill, I certainly do this plenty often.

So, two seperate things here, one being triggered by the result of another to give us a chain of effect.  Not home just now or i'd see if the embark movement thing is tied directly to restart after sever.

Thankfully it's already fixed for next version:

The Esc part is, I think the embark zone movement issue will be unaffected if what I recall seeing is correct

Cannot reproduce the embark rectangle freeze in _08 when deliberately severing processes at embark screen and during embark/calender.  Seems to be gone.

Are you sure you didn't just capslock?

I do that all the time >>
