Bug Description

When scrolling the camera view the games main bar UI is unresponsive to clicks and causes deselection while camera is moving. Happens for abilities (Commanche fire missile barrage, stop command, evacuate command on humvee all suffer same issue)

Reproduction Steps

1. Start game built from code
2. In mission move camera with arrow keys while trying to interact with ui elements with units selected. (Note the cursor is an arrow while this happens)
3. mini map with radar enabled is also affected
4. sidebar A10 missile strike is also affected

Is this an original game issue?

I've just checked and it is. I could have sworn I never hit this before though. (I'm going to double check my environment might be dirty)

Edit: Bug Not present in ZH Steam base.

I have fully cleaned my environment. I can 100% confirm bug is present but different in base unmodified (Steam) Generals and Zero Hour while moving camera and clicking UI. I dont play ZH as i've never played Generals.

Generals Unmodified: Clicking UI while moving does not deselect current units but does also not perform anything on UI button. Clicking on Terrain does not deselect units (sticky logic maybe)
Generals Github Built: Clicking UI while moving deselects current units and also does nothing. Clicking on Terrain deselects units. (removed sticky logic maybe)

End result is the mixed behavior is weird and does not feel good.

Edit: I use the Alternate Mouse Setup option

I’ve experienced this same bug while playing Command & Conquer: Generals Skirmish. The UI becomes unresponsive when moving the camera. Glad to see it documented here.

If this is a Generals specific issue then it will be resolved by merging relevant Zero Hour bits to Generals.
