[FIXED] Resources disappeared when canceling a building

#1
Playername: Thor
Universe: Reloaded
Time: around 15:40 server time
Planet: 1:210:4
Started: Metal level 34

Description... I have a rotten trackball... The left mouse click often not works.
Sometimes when i click on a mine, i see two levels building one that i intended the next one is in the building queue.

If i cancel the one in the queue so in this case level 35, both levels are canceled and resources are gone.
It happened two time before.

Loads of resources missing, i will get over it. But please take a look. It only happens in reloaded so far.

Can you reproduce this?
Do you try this immediately (within 1-2 minutes) or a lot later?

Do you have active plus queue (+3) when you experienced this?

The mechanism is when you remove a queue list, no resources are returned as no resources were taken at first place. In case you have no +3 activated then this could be well it. If not, the mouse should also act funny when removing the queue, in which case we will need to create a proof system for this case.

For the record, there is:
1) a Remove link (for queue elements) -> this never returns resources
2) a Delete link (for building currently under construction) -> this returns resources


At any case, please try responding the questions above so we can try it out.

I think i can reproduce this...
I did have plus queue activated at the time.

So i actived the metal mine... by clicking it.
It added level 35 + 36 (and did take my resources) for level 35.
I canceled level 36 from the building queue but both level where canceled and resources where not returned.

The story continues...
Replace my mouse with a new one :-)

and reproduced it...
So the procedure is...
Double click on a building with the build queue on...

You will see two levels building...
Now go to the last build level in the queue
Double click it.

Both building levels will be canceled..
No resources are returned.. (but the fist level actually building actually did take the resources)

If single clicking the levels one by one, it actually works as it supposed to work.

It should not be very hard to reproduce...

ps..
The old mouse, did send a double click in stead of a single click is my conclusion.

I hope my description was clear enough...
If not feel free to ask.

If wanted i can send email with screen print.

pps.
you stated...
The mechanism is when you remove a queue list, no resources are returned as no resources were taken at first place.

But this actually is not true...
When having a build queue, the first level building is taking your resources (this is normal)
So when canceling a queue it should be returned.
