'Potential Colonies' button in main view opens 'race comparison' window - probably not working as intended

Typo on tool tip - fixed.

Displayed Events List does not seem to function via tick box on System Map UI.

Event proper works OK, but does not appear when Events box is ticked.

The database has no password. Is this a bug or feature?

Playing conventional empire.   No techs researched yet. 
Strange bug when in ship class design. 
When clicking Design Philosopy i get multiple errors Function #2623, 2631, 2629, 2627, etc. 
After clicking trough these when clicking refresh tech i suddenly have a large amount of extra components that i had not researched earlier.

Design Philosophy button should not be visible - for NPRS only

Ok, i was not in SM mode so i'm assuming its a bug then

Yes, I will remove for next version.

Feature - don't change anything and then report bugs

I may add a password later but I'll see how it goes for now.

Not added events on map yet.

Not really a bug, but it feels like the best place to ask, is there a 'instant research to X cost' button like there was in V6B?

You need to be in SM mode (the crystal ball)

I am in SM mode. I get the 'instant' button(Which I have used beyond the given starting research pool), but no corresponding research to X cost' button.

On a separate note, I really like the blue background, its not as glaring to my eyes as the old version .

Is this a Windows install. Was it Real Stars or Random?

Ack actually ignore that one. When I tried changing date formats around, the number format was reset to default. With . as decimal separator and , as thousands separator, it works. The list of stars is filled and I can create new systems.

edit: if I close the window without creating a new system though, I still get those extra errors:
Function #1612: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #1607: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #1562: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #2430: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Function #2431: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Fixed.

I seem unable to render obsolete a number of energy/kinetic weapon technologies - both turreted and normal versions. Every other technology can be obsoleted just fine.

Conventional start: Logistics still has the option to build Trans-Newtonian Cargo Shuttles even though TN Tech hasn't been researched yet. Intentional?

Selecting Asteroids with Minerals Only in the display tab shows only the ones that have minerals without actually having to survey them first

No, that's a bug. Fixed.

[Scorchicus]

Not sure whether a bug, a suggestion, or whether I simply can't find it, but with the removal of the old title bar menu, I can't find the 'Reduced height windows' button present in VB6's 'Game parameters' menu.

If it's there at the bottom of the screen, it's cut off, along with every other important button, making the game unplayable (no research buttons, for instance).

If it's not present at all, I request that it be added (or the problem remedied in another way) so that I can have buttons to do things.

If I've just missed it. . .  Well, it's probably worth noting here in case anyone else comes looking in the future.

Also, if that's not 'buggy' enough for here, the game throws up an infinitely looping 'Function #1690: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime. ' upon opening and closing the 'New Game' menu without actually starting a new game.  Effectively it locks the game.
