I have the mapper window docked to the right of my mud window. When I right click on a room and click properties, nothing happens. I am using Win XP, so is this perhaps a symptom of the Always On Top bug? If so is there any reliable way to actually view and edit room properties? I'm in the process of converting things to see if I might finally be able to stick with CMud, and not being able to edit maps is kind of a show stopper.

This problem inexplicably fixed itself after restarting the program. Note that I'd restarted it many times while attempting fixes, but apparently the 10th time's a charm! Upward and onward.

Ah hah! The problem seems to be tied to having your layout locked when the room properties window is set to float. If you dock the properties window somewhere then lock the layout and close the properties window, selecting properties again will cause the window to reopen properly in its docked location. However, you can't seem to view room properties in a floating window while the layout is locked. Presumed bug.

I've seen this problem aswell. I've found that the room properties window is actually up, just hidden behind windows, and you can't bring it up. I've found if you move your windows out of the way, especially the main window, you can find it...

manbat: was that in the 3.x versions? In the 3.x versions, the room properties window should never be hidden behind other windows. That should have only happened in the older 2.x versions of CMUD.

I'll add the problem with viewing the floating room properties when the layout is locked to the bug list.

Hmmm good question. I can't honestly tell you if that has happened in 3.06 or not... I'll make note if it happens again.
