Wonky mouse reveals interesting bug...

So this is by large my own problem, because my mouse is a bit on the flaky side. However, due to its flakiness, I've uncovered an interesting bug in the software!

Weird, right? Those numbers just sit there permanently until I reload or quit.

So what's going on here is that, when my mouse gets moody, it doesn't like to hold a click like it should. It usually happens when I'm dragging a dig operation, where it releases and re-clicks pretty much instantaneously. From what I can tell, the game isn't set up to handle mouse release and mouse press on the same "frame", which results in the dig dimensions just kinda becoming a decal on the wall forever.

I had another image that had like five sets of dig dimensions in close proximity, but I seem to have deleted it. It was priceless. )-:


Steps to Reproduce
Get a wonky mouse or set up some kind of input generator that can release a drag and immediately, IMMEDIATELY press down on the mouse button again.

not just your mouse. i find it usually does it if its saving or somesuch, especially many cycles in. like a kind of lag effect?

It happens all the time, when the engine is on heavy duty with somewhat else. But its pure cosmetic, und for that it seems it has no high priority for Klei to fix this, which is understandable. They have more pressing issues to work on.
