#52849: "Wrong Highlights that can induce in error and cause erroneous bug reports"

• 如果可以的話，請轉貼螢幕顯示的錯誤訊息。
Here is one example when moving around locos (top) and another when choosing the advance 1 steel track action (bottom):

imgur.com/3NubNUr

For the first example, the only valid destination for the 4 loco that is currently being moved is to replace the 3 loco. The highlight on the 6 loco and on the construction site are misleading. The highlight on the 4 loco itself would be better if it was different as its role is different.

For the second example, none of the place highlighted can actually be clicked to complete the action.
The only valid place to click that actually works is the first position on the Osaka line.

-------------------------------

This leads also to a generic problem with this implementation in regards to the movement of tracks and industry tokens.

As a generic rule, the current position of the track or industry token is highlighted and you click there to advance it. BUT, there are situation where you have to click where you want the token to go (for instance when you want your industry token to ignore a placed factory and take the shortcut) and there is nothing to tell you that.

This makes people believe that they cannot do certain actions when in fact they can, it is "just" that the interface is opaque and not consistant.

I don't know what the global solution is. Maybe we should *always* target and highlight the destination rather than current "the origin except in a few situations". That or simply make the highlights a lot smarter so as to conform with the actual places where we can click.

As a side note, I think the highlights should be a bit more solid and visible.
