Gear menu instantly closing.

[RimBlock]

I have noticed for a while (since 1.0.5.1 (possibly since 1.0.5) that sometimes when accessing the gear menu ("G" by default) it opens and then instantly closes.

Moving around sometimes fixes it but logging off and back in again clears it although it is likely to return.

Two threads on it in the forum

It feels like something put in to stop duping which is not quite working correctly. I have found no pattern as to when it occurs (one time when I was accessing a Chinooks gear, after clearing the bug it didn't occur at the same Chinook a few minutes later).

I only have the following installed.

ARMA II
ARMA II OA - 1.63.125548 build 323114
Epoch client 1.0.5.1
Epoch Server 1.0.5.1
A Plot for life v2.2.4 (does not touch the gear menu. Someone else confirmed not having this installed but still seeing the issue).
Snap Build Pro.

I have no extra antihack. I have nothing in the server or client RPT files indicating an error or issue. My server only has myself playing on it.

This is not restricted to the Gear menu. It also affects the traders menu and the map as well. All instantly close when accessed.

What I have just noticed is that if I press [ESC] to get the main menu up to abort, nothing happens. If I press it again then the main menu appears and I can abort. Whilst testing, I found that when this bug hits, if I press the [ESC] and nothing happens, I can then access the menu afterwards (and presumably the other menus as well).

This leads me to believe it thinks a dialogue is still open and so will not allow any others to be opened at the same time. Pressing [ESC] seems to clear that conflict.

I am not sure what is causing the conflict to occur in the first place though.

Not an issue with the mod but a issue with outdated anti-hacks.

As stated in the first post, I do not have any antihacks other than anything that comes with the mod.

Unfortunately, I cannot think of any other reason for this to happen.

Sure, current thoughts are that there are a number of issues with the ARMA II OA betas. The user base is also quite fragmented on the versions they are using.

I will try a completely clean install again (delete and reinstall from Steam, copy to the server etc) including disabling my Antivirus just to make sure that is not interfering.

A player I know had this problem. After a while we figured out, that pressing caps lock (push to talk) or even after double caps (when he is constantly sending) the gear menu closes itself. Don't know why.
