Can't click on UI elements (Menu, + and - buttons etc.)

I'm aware of and working on this issue currently. The cause is the same as this and very peculiar. I hope to have a solution up within the hour.

Essentially, the click events don't fire properly on certain screen resolutions on desktop. A temporary workaround for the issue is to "zoom out" the website until the menu shows by default. Any resolution on desktop where the menu is hidden by default seems to be a problem. Any resolution or zoom level where the menu shows by default seems to register the click events correctly. Mobile apps are fine, as is desktop at most resolutions.

As was mentioned in the changelog for this update, a lot of back-end web code was altered but ironically not much in this area. All of the web libraries have been updated and it may be related to that, in the meantime I'll keep searching.

That's because I temporarily changed the menu to use a different click event handler, I can't do the same for many of the buttons in the UI like + and - though. At the moment the actual cause remains a mystery, but I know it only happens if you run a browser on desktop in a resolution where the menu is not visible by default. No issues on mobiles, tablets or even desktops if you can get the browser / app to run on a wider screen. In firefox at least zooming out (CTRL+mouse wheel or CTRL+'-') then refreshing the website to force it to reload also fixes it.

I've explored several possibilities so far and it looks like something is obscuring the click events from firing. They are correctly assigned and if I click rapidly in the top 1px of the screen on the menu button it actually works in about 1 in every 20 clicks (???) and then doesn't again. I've never seen anything like it, and whatever is obscuring it is invisible. While debugging it I even deleted all elements that could block it, with no impact! Having ruled out all the simple explanations I'm now digging in to deeper technical ones.


Races should be unaffected by anything in this update, it's only a website / management screen update.

I believe it is fixed now, as it has been confirmed by at least one other person and is fixed for me too.

It seems that it was the code/library used to allow for the "swipe menu" (swipe from the edge of the screen) on touchscreen devices. Somehow, it was interfering with the click events, so it seems it was something to do with all the third-party library upgrades after all.

I've modified the code in this area and I am now able to click on all the UI elements correctly.

A cache clear is required to get this fix.
