Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Hello,
I am here to discuss a possible bug with how the game handles docking/gate jumping when focus is off the game client.

When the bug occurs, it's as follows:
- You hit the hotkey to jump/dock at a given gate/station
- You place focus on different window, say a second game client or a browser
- You return to your game client, only to find you've warped to 0 instead of docking/jumping

Some are arguing this is an intended game feature, however this does not seem to be the case. This situation only occurs sometimes, maybe 1 out of 6 times if even. That would seem to indicate this is not the intended design.

I also want to mention this does not only happen when minimizing. I run several game clients sometimes and have observed this happen when not minimizing the window but simply switching focus to a different one.

This issue has been discussed here:

As we can see a CCP staff member has indicated they are looking into the issue. 3+ months later though and the bug is still prevalent.

Dearest staff,

May I get an answer to my inquiry? I was sent here to discuss by you guys, now you're totally no selling me
