Automated Notifier Screen Option may cause build orders to drag across the map

This seems to be related to 

 

But this time not on pause on save, but on pause on trigger... It looks like a deeper code-malfunction. 

Yes and no. In the case of a zoom, it likely just does a calculation based on the map location the click started on, and then uses the map location that the cursor ended on. Do not confuse the map location with screen location, while the two generally correlate, they're not the same thing, as you move the screen across the map in order to interact with things.

The infamous selections when it's doing the autosave are more a matter of being based on start location plus movement data(at the moment of the freeze) to extrapolate where the cursor should finish. With the additional "bonus" of it not being bounded by what you can see on the screen(probably because it uses map location, not screen position).

A possible "fix" that might annoy some players is possibly creating a sub-routine that cancels any area selections when those two events(auto-save, focus change) trigger. Just a matter of which poison you prefer in that case.

Thanks for the report. This is fixed and will be live in a future build!
