Today on test I noticed the option to lock windows in place when pinned has been removed.

It used to exist under the ESC | General Settings | Windows section

Can this feature be put back in?

GAH! Thank you for the lack of troll response even when I was so very dumb. I do college from home and I have to do it almost every day. I forgot it was a weekend LOL. :)

It amazes me just how many Devs are prepared to roll-up their sleeves these days, and post/debate on their days off, but yeah... some things are best left to a Monday...

This was removed on purpose. The feature was becoming increasingly hard to maintain due to technical reasons, and given the fact that very few people even knew of it's existence, we decided to remove it.

This. Wasn't this even the default functionality when pinning was added 6 years ago? I always wondered why it changed.

Only in EVE does "pinning" no longer mean "to hold in place". WTH

Only in eve do the windows randomly change place all the time, even when pinned and locked... :/

So there's no option at all to keep windows where you want them? I can't be the only person who discovered this option because of the annoying accidental window moving. Shouldn't the whole point of pinning windows keep them locked anyway?

I pin windows to make them transparent and to lock them in place.

I'm wondering this also.

But CCP have had issues with windows for years, with them randomly moving around after relogging.

This move gives you another -1 CCP.

This.

I can't believe CCP would remove this feature. I mean with all the fixes we are getting with Crucible this deletion is just surreal.

Err, wat. Maybe I was just always with the in-crowd, but at least to me it seemed like most people knew and used it. I don't mean any disrespect, but in a game where the mouse is king and you click on things very fast, being unable to lock windows down is a recipe for disaster x.X

Why even have a button to pin a window, if all it does is make it a bit more transparent?

Just set transparency on all the windows and remove the pin button.

Then remove the option to minimize a window, because who really does that?

Nobody stacks them either, and who in their right mind would CLOSE a window?

Why do we even need windows, just overlay some text at the bottom of the screen, like an old-school MUD.

Your stuff goes here.

i'm curious, how exactly is it hard to maintain the feature?

+1 for returning this feature to us - having to spend ages realigning carefuly arranged UI elements because i accidentally dragged something around, taking everything stacked with it, snapping onto other elements, is really not something i look forward to (as spergy as that may sound).

Great. So instead of dying by 1,000 papercuts, we will be hacked to death by a machete.

Seriously, CCP. This is a really, really, really big deal.
