Things the game doesn't tell you (but it should)

I was starting to wonder if only Mac version had UI problems, or if I was oversensitive on UI problems.

Draven, I did a list like your:

But I’ll update it bellow on this post.

I tried see if any element you quote couldn’t be managed with some hidden UI feature I noticed, but I don’t think so. The only point is when you select an enemy icon the cam is fixed on it, then you can zoom int and out and move the cam from this point. That how I manage grenades or figure faster some enemy position, but it’s not changing the point you quoted.

Myself I add (but not repeat Draven list in post above):
General

  • A player option so right click only cancel or close, never move. I don’t need right click at all, the current double click is well implemented. But the lack of consistency of right click made me do many miss click move. With that option the full logic is right click open main menu if nothing needs a cancel/close, and right click again will close it.

Combat

  • For multiple chained shot don’t reset aimed shot to normal shot.
  • Fix AP lost that happens sometimes when detecting an enemy during a move.
  • Option for a different control to change overwatch cone width, I would suggest right click would close/cancel overwatch but press right click will trigger cone width change with the mouse wheel.

Geoscape

  • Fix the bug where production/recruits icons disappear, it’s a big nuisance.
  • Add a button to buy all during trade with Haven.
  • Allow rename and change order of list of planes, it’s fine if names must be very short.
  • Add a base list like plane list to allow switch or select bases and see them on geoscape.
  • Fix the base design of auto unpause, current design is absurd. At least provide a player option so auto pause is only when all planes are busy, and add a iddle command and sate to planes.
  • Add an option to disable auto unpause.
  • Add an option to set time tick for the three time setup (slow/medium/fast), fast is insane for me and medium is fast and only for rare case, when slow is too slow and only because there’s no way to disable auto unpause.
  • Fix the ammo refill bug, nobody want non full clip in backpack. At least give a warning if there’s no resource to provide a full clip, and show a yellow icon on non full clips in backpack.
  • Fix the list of missions at left, bottom item is almost hidden even with max scroll down.
  • Fix the zoom so it’s not only min or max (most probably, a Mac only bug).
