Description

In the Tracking Station screen, if you open up a "Contract Complete" notification (or presumably other similar notifications), the window is displayed underneath icons for ships, orbit data, contract site markers, and so on.

To reproduce:
1) Put ships in orbit or accept Kerbin visual survey contracts so icons are displayed on the Tracking Statino map screen.
2) Complete a contract, but do not open the completion notification.
3) Switch to the Tracking Station screen.
4) Open the contract completion notification.
5) Observe that the map icons are displayed in front of the window.

I've attempted to attach a sample save file and image demonstrating the problem (load the save, go to the Tracking Station, and open the notification), but I got internal server errors trying to attach the files. If they don't attach, I'll try again later.

Tried it, doesn´t look like the icons are on top. It looks a bit like that, because the notification window is transparent, but the font inside the notification window is still on top of the icons.

#2 Updated by achurch over 9 years ago

I still can't attach files to demonstrate, but that's incorrect; the window is translucent (not transparent), as you can see by placing Kerbin or orbit lines behind the window.

That wasn't that hard to reproduce. And yes, they get a bit annoying.

There's also similar, even more annoying issue with the part's context menu and navball. Particularly for engines.

... and while I understand I'm driving it to more general level (incorrect ordering of graphical elements), this is what is completely driving me nuts in VAB/SPH when I want to check parameters (mass, size) of part of my ship.

A related problem is that sometimes pop up information boxes are displayed with their contents at least partially off-screen. The example that has been bothering me is in the Astronaut Complex- the pop up info box for Kerbals is obscured off the bottom of the screen for Kerbals who appear at the bottom of a long list (12 or more).

It looks like the UI interface will be updated in the next release, so it is possible some of these issues will be eliminated.

This appears to be fixed in version 1.1.0: the window now appears on top of the map icons, as expected.
