Windows Forgetting They are Pinned

Cargohold, Ore hold, and corp hanger on orca not remembering they were supposed to be pinned.

I typically stack my three cargo places on the orca. If you open the cargohold, pin the window, then open another (ore hold or corp hanger) the whole group is then unpinned.

Same is true with chat windows. When stack of chat windows is pinned and you join another channel, the stack will then be unpinned.

Happens whether you are in space or not.

1) CCP removed the pinned windows because "nobody" really used it anyways and it only caused more headache in the code
2) Windows jumping around is a problem that has been plaguing the UI (and if you're an oldie like me, you'll remember it happened since before pinning was a feature)

They didn't remove pinning, they just removed the option to "Lock Windows When Pinned".

Strangely it amounts to the same thing though.

Perhaps I didn't explain it right...

When you put a window out, lets say the cargohold on an Orca. And then you pin it. (Yeah I know it doesn't really pin it, it just makes it transparent now that they messed that up) so you make the cargo transparent. Then, Open the orehold which stacks on top of the cargohold... the stack is no longer transparent. Every single time you open a window that is grouped with an opened/transparent window, the transparency is turned off.

CCP have already reported this feature will return in a future point release.

Holy idiots in this thread.

PINNING does not work. It comes unpinned after relogging. It goes from translucent (pinned) to opaque (unpinned) after logging.

Learn to read you retards.

Pinning does work, it just no longer has the lock feature off it. And why don't YOU learn to read you ***hat. I was explaining the problem with the transparency... nvm.. If you're too dumb to read it and figure it out I'm not going to explain it.

The new font is terrible.

CCP Punkturis is the worst Dev.  Fix the font or you will be the 21st percent.



With that signature, I'm afraid you're the idiot. It's one thing to say you don't like the font, it is another to call for somebody to be sacked, your signature is a disgrace.

Gotcha, my apologies, I would F12 this and report it as a bug if you haven't already and it will 100% be added to be fixed. You can include a screenshot.

ok i have a slightly different issue but centers around cargo cans and wreck windows

they bloody reset on every single damn opening ive tried using my cargobay window as the base and draging the windows on to it so it like saves the size and position then drag the cargo bay out of the group but it doesnt work
