Duplicate of boardgamearena.com/bug?id=81239

Please vote for that one instead. Cumulative votes on suggestions help the developers decide which suggestions to implement, so fragmented/duplicate suggestions tend not to get noticed.

That's not on the same subject though?

Like, if that's a similar display issue, only you would know. I don't generally get to discard my cards so I don't know what that looks like. But it seems like if you are aware the lack is present in both areas you got a clear path forward.

And I respect your time and effort put into this, but please do respect mine too. Just putting this off as 'Developers think that it is not a good idea or that the cost/benefit ratio is too high' immediately seems very counterproductive.

Can you help me understand the difference? My understanding was that you're trying to click a card, but not able to easily see which card as been selected, which is precisely the subject of the other ticket. If you can help me understand what the difference is between tickets, we can always reopen this one.

It's an automated message. There's no option for us to mark suggestions as duplicate. The only option we have is "yes, we'll do it" or "we need more info" or the one you cited. It's not a cost-benefit problem in this case, it's literally the only way to close this ticket.

> And I respect your time and effort put into this
Thank you. I respect yours, too, which is why I'm still writing. If we both have a little patience, we can communicate through issues like this, even if it takes time. Don't be offended by the way BGA phrases things -- you're talking with us (the game developers) not with the BGA website.

The thing is, when I spot an issue, I try to look whether that's been reported yet of course. That was not the case as far as I can find. Now I don't have the background info on whether other issues have the same underlying problem. I have not had to discard a card in my game. All I know is what I am reporting to you, namely that when you get to reactivate cards it isn't possible to see whether they have been selected or unselected. If that is the same issue as the other report is about, bundling them is fine of course, but I don't know that.

And I don't know the details of the behind the scenes selection thing, but it is possible for you to ask a question first if you are unsure about what I am writing before clicking one of the automated messages in, right?

In any case, thanks for your response and time and sorry I was a little annoyed it seemed to be brushed aside. If you need anything else, let me know.

Yep, thah makes sense to me. Many (most?) people don't even bother looking first, so we appreciate that you take the time to look first. You did nothing wrong here. The best thing to do is vote for that other ticket so it gets more visibility, which helps everyone.

Thanks for being vigilant in your reporting.

You'll be happy to know the issue is fixed now, in any case.

Has this really been fixed? I couldn't tell which cards were selected when I had a boon to reactivate cards.

It has. Do you have a screenshot?
