[0.17.2] Quickbar stopped responding

[wahming]

While laying out my oil, quickbar abruptly stopped working. Buttons would not highlight, and clicking on them did nothing. Alt-tabbing out and back in fixed the issue. I am uncertain what I did to trigger the bug, and have not been able to reproduce it.

Screenshot of what I was doing at the time:

Do you remember is other keys such as WASD were working correctly?

Without more information i'm afraid there's not much to go on, but i'll keep it in mind in case I see this problem reported again.

Yes, movement was still working. Didn't try anything else at the time.

Encountered the issue again. None of the quickbar buttons or drone alerts were responding either. Tried taking a screenshot to display my cursor over the buttons, realised my screenshot doesn't capture the cursor. When I exited the screenshot tool (lightshot) it was working again. In common with the first occurrence is that I had a hand craft queue at the time, and the game window losing and regaining focus fixed the issue.

Sounds similar to [0.17.4] Can not click inventory or menu buttons

Quite possible. It's elusive enough that it's tough to gather info. Good catch.
