View Full Version : Unlocking Dice Panel - Lost Functionality

I think this started in 4.7...

Right-clicking between dice in the dice panel no longer brings up the context menu (previously radial) to unlock it.

Most of us have our dice panel on the far left of the screen so it is not possible to hover over the lock/unlock button.

"Toggle Panel Lock" in the dice menus still works, but that is extra steps and the dice menu takes a few seconds to open even on a high-end machine.

Right-Clicking between the dice used to work and I'd like to see it work again.



Side note: The reason that the dice panel ever even needs to be moved is because of how FG moves things around when the Windows FG window is resized... like when dragging to a different monitor, or viewing through remote desktop, or just for reasons I can't fathom, sometimes the dice panel / modifier panel / dice tower are repositioned.

Personally in the rare cases you have to unlock/lock the dice panel its not that big of a deal to go to the toggle panel lock in the dice menus.
Vs having a right click option causing issues when wanting to right click the dice which is way more common.

I would say maybe give us the option for the "Toggle Panel Lock" to be dragged to the hotbar so you can easy just use a hotkey to do it since you seem to do it so much this would be a good option for you.

I'm confused as to why the lock icon isn't visible even if you have the panel moved to the left. Have you moved it too far so that the lock icon is off screen? Also as MrDDT says you can access the Toggle lock panel via the dice menu.

Yeah he is saying when he resizes the screen, which is often happening because of moving it to another monitor or using it from remote display, it will push it out of bounds of what is visible to see or click on the lock of the dice area.
He already knew about the dice panel option, but it's a lot of steps to do this each time.

The dice panel option works but is extra steps in a window that takes a long time to load.

I just want it to work how it used to.

The context menus in that particular scenario have been fixed in v4.7.1.
