This is kinda weird to have happen and I'm not really the best at explaining things to people...

Anyway I launch my probes and try to place them in the pattern i use to scan, but they won't move anywhere??[:?:
The little arrows don't turn blue, and just will not work..But the scanner buttons all work. I can scan,recall , they do everything but move???

I have deleted my cache files in everyway you can. I've tried changing Probes,and launchers.

Can anyone help?
Oops

You may have to adjust your camera angle so you can see the profile view of the arrows so that their clickable area isn't a pixel wide.

Other than that, wacky bug.

Yea this happens to me all the time. Just zoom in a little and wiggle the camera around. The whole probe scanning feature is a mess.

I have more space likes than you.

Obviously your problem is that they took an arrow to their knee

Would you take the time to read my suggestion about simplifying the UI for moving probes around? Let me know if it sounds like it might work or if I'm just a ninny.

AAAAh finaly somebody with the same problem. I thought this was something that broke because I run on Linux, glad you confirmed.

I could probe just fine before crucible 1.1.1 everything worked like a charm.

since 1.1.1 the probes don't react to the mouse pointer (turn blue). no matter the zoom or camera angle. I figured out a simple work around but it's annoying.

click into the chat window (focus the window as if you wanted to write something), then click onto the probe you want to use. while you are on it, it will react. once you move the cursos away from the box+arrows, all goes inactive again and you have to chat-click again.

can you file a bug report ? mine will be ignored :-)
