Wrong Zoom
« on: November 06, 2007, 10:51:00 am »

Sometimes, when I zoom-cre from the units list, I am given the wrong unit. It isn't horribly off because it's giving the correct square, but it'll select a different unit in the square than the one intended, such as a sleeping dwarf's pet mule who is in the same space as the dwarf and the bed. (Though, that scenario raises further questions best left alone)

It's always done this, I'm not sure if it could be fixed (because I think it just moves the cursor to the location and hits [v] for you, showing you the top-most critter in the square), just hit [v] and it will select the next critter.

Huh... I guess I just never noticed it before.

Well, it definitely *could* be fixed, it shouldn't be hard for the game to "press v" several times to find the right dwarf. I also find this quirk rather annoying.
