[BUG/UI] Buildings don't go where I click

from Elemental Forums

This goes back to beta, but I think I was lame and didn't report it then.

 

When I'm in build mode and click to place a building, sometimes the building goes on a totally different tile.  This seems to be related to the autocentering that happens when you place a building -- if the screen doesn't move, I can place buildings pretty reliably, but when it shifts as I'm placing the building, it seems like the building ends up being placed based on the new location of the mouse cursor, instead of the location where I clicked.

I have this problem as well... and always worry if I destroyed some possible hidden resource.

Very irritating. Goes all the way back to early beta.  Please fix sometime.

Yes, this constantly happens to me, too.

Using the city zoom option to autocenter on the city when you open the build menu should work around this until we can resolve it.
