Description

In KSP 1.0.4, running under Steam on Ubuntu 14.04, hitting Enter after typing a filename in the quicksave dialog closes the quicksave dialog, giving the impression that the game has been successfully saved, but does not save the current game state to the filename provided. Meanwhile, hitting Escape in the quicksave dialog causes the current state of the game to be saved to the entered filename. This is contrary to the generally accepted UI convention that Enter submits an action and Escape cancels it, and has caused data loss due to unexpected and unnoticed failure to save on at least one occasion. The "save" and "cancel" buttons in the dialog window work as expected.

Expected behavior: Enter should save, Escape should cancel
Actual behavior: Enter cancels, Escape saves.

How to reproduce: Open the quicksave dialog. Type a filename. Hit enter. If the file did not exist, it will not have been created. If it existed, it will not have been updated. Open the quicksave dialog again. Type a filename. Hit escape. A file will have been created/updated according to the filname typed.

Confirmed. Escape and Enter do the opposite of what would be expected.

  • Platform Any, OSX added

I reproduced this bug on OSX, and am assuming it occurs on all platforms.

#4 Updated by sal_vager over 8 years ago

  • Severity changed from Normal to Low

Definitely annoying, but not unavoidable so reclassing as Low as per the guide

This should be fixed by the UI overhaul so will need retesting with 1.1
