Opening the mini-map reverts the size of the land tool to 1x1, regardless of what was selected before.

Opening the mini-map reverts the size of the land tool to 1 square, regardless of how large an area you had set the tool to cover initially.
This is kind of a bizarre behavior between two things I wouldn't expect to be related at all, but if you're using the land tool and you've increased the size of its effect (say to a 3x3 square), and then you open up the map, the land tool's size will go back to 1x1 all on its own. This happens both when using the tab key shortcut for opening the map and when opening the map via the menu.
The size of the land tool still be increased back to what you set it as, but this happens every time you open up the mini-map.

And then open up the map...

• [Unknown] Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
• [No] Specific to multiplayer?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open up the land tool
2. Increase the area of its effect to anything larger than 1x1
3. Open up the mini-map

I wonder if the land ownership tool inside the map window when debug mode is on is to blame.

That's most likely the case, and should be easy to fix.

Should opening the map ever change the land tool size? I've tracked down the offending line but I'm unsure about the desired behavior.

@NathanZabriskie Should opening the map ever change the land tool size?

No, it should only set the size for its own tool that lets you set land ownership.

The tricky part is that the map window uses the global area size variable (gLandToolSize) to keep track of its last size. Instead of using this, it should use its own variable that is not shared with other tools, and use for setting the actual selection area size.

(In my opinion) desirable behaviour would be:

• Map window doesn't change land tool size of other tools when opened
• Other tools don't reset the land tool size of the ownership when opened
• The land ownership tool size should be set to 1 when opening the map window, and remember the size as long as the map window is open (that is when disabling and re-enabling this tool)
