Sometimes when I press show info, whatever it may be, only a part of the box loads and it gets stuck onto my background, and I have to log to get rid of it. It's happening enough to become a real nuisance, can anybody help me with this?

Cheers in advance, Dec

Right click on the top of that window, and select "CLOSE".

Don't bother trying to click 'X' in the top-right corner :)

yeah I get this sometimes, that little loading icon just spins forever and it never loads and the only way to get rid of it is to relog.

That link should work...its the thing inside the excellenty drawn yellow rectangle...it can overlap eachother until you get it covering your bloody screen depending on how many show info's you do. Seems a lot of people get it, any response how to fix it?

Thats an old one, sometimes it fixes when you drag an item over it. Or you can exit and reset the windows positions.

Linked for teh lazy.


I get that sometimes, I don't know what causes it exactly, but it seems to happen to me most often when I am in some place that is very laggy. The only way to be rid of it that I have found is to relog.

That's because the window has become 'pinned'. Up there by the 'X' there's a minimize button (horizontal bar) and a 'pin' button (circle with a dot in it).
If you accidentally hit the 'pin' button the window is pinned in place and no longer response to anything but close. Can't be moved or resized until you click the 'pin' icon again to unpin it.

circle with a dot in it is the loading counter, not a pin, there is no such thing as a pin, just X, minimise, and that one that makes it see-through.

it happens when lagging and spamming the show info box, it sometimes also happens when dragging things form hanger/ammo/cargo/whatever, and then dragging peoples thumbnails, usually moving something over that part of the screen, or relogging is the only fix.

I Stopped getting that bug when i went from an ATI Radeon card to a nVidia Geforce one, maybe thats what caused it?
