Jettison menu resets number to max.

Apr 30, 2005 yodaofborg link
Not sure if this is a bug, or you trying to stop me making cargo art (or long taily pointers to good roids) but recently while mining, I noticed a change in the jettison menu. If I put jettison 1 widget, then clicked the J button, it would stay on 1, but now, if I put jettison 1 widget, and click J, it puts the max number of widgets I have, rather than 1, which means as im turboing away from a roid, or trying to make a smile-yo, I have to keep clicking in the damn text box and typing 1... (or lose all my widgets, and start again)

Did you have mining beams active at the time? I know when you mine a unit, it resets the jettison menu count to the max.

No, it does it even if you have no mining beams equipped.

Huh. I haven't changed that code in over a month. I'll go back and check it out.

This was a result of the auto updating of how much cargo you have, when it changed, instead of, when it increased. Although you can see the actual progress of mining through the jettison window, it keeps resetting so you can't drop 1 by 1.
