Martin & all,

 

Both the upper and lower captions are initialized according to the priority situation at game starting/loading time, but only the upper caption is ever updated to show a changed PD.

 

I believe my original intention was to show the PD marker only in the upper caption row.  So the lower captions should have been initialized with just the player name.

But if a majority votes for showing the PD marker both up and down, I’ll be happy to change accordingly.  Both ways to fix this bug are easy to do.

 

Erik.

Hi Erik, 

 

please have a look at the attached Graphic. It shows that the Top Row has changed the PD correctly after a share purchase while the bottom row apparently isnt updated.

 

I 'll attach the save game also but upon load this behaviour will not be visible perhaps after the next action.

 

KInd regards,

Martin

This is something I was considering changing myself.  If I had my way, the letters
"PD" would show in the player-name lines of the Game Status window and nowhere
else, ever (especially not in the map/operating-round window).

Better still would be to replace it with highlighting in some unique color (green?)
so that the Game Status window would never need to change its size, except possibly
when one or more companies are permanently removed from play.

I've just started an 1851 game in 1.7.7 and encountered the above, plus two
more bugs (at least I think they are bugs).

1. As soon as the Start Round ends and the rest of Stock Round 1 begins, the
president's holding of L&N is shown with "P" after it, not "PU", even though
it hasn't yet floated.  This bug appears to be common to several games (By in
1835 does it too).

2. When the 5th share of L&N is purchased, floating the company, and its
remaining 5 shares are moved from IPO to treasury, its price also goes up as
if the company had been fully owned at the end of a stock round.  (SR1 has
not ended, but its founder is now prevented from buying the 50% he had set
the par price to enable.)
