Hotfix 43

Fix to one rather horrible bug that slipped through in the last hotfix. I've been working behind the scenes on some updates to make the UI code easier to maintain and extend -- for myself, for future games, for modders, and in general. I thought I had checked all the UIs, but one item slipped through.

Bugfixes

• FixedWait, You Use Dropdowns?Fixed an issue where various windows -- and most notably tooltips -- were causing dropdowns to close. This was because of a regex/grep mistake in some of my work that had caused early termination of some code I was converting from C# to xml. Overall I'm working on updates to the game that allow for fewer lines of code when making UIs, and more component-based reuse of code, and more parameters set in xml rather than C#. This is good for maintainability, and for modders, and for future games being developed faster. But in this case it did cause a regression. Sorry about that!
