This set of changes has several negative effects, especially for people who enter large numbers of R&D jobs.
1. More clicks are now needed to enter each job. The 'Accept quote' window was previously modal, when it didn't strictly need to be modal, but now it doesn't even gain focus when it pops up.
Previously:Now:- Window opens
- Click somewhere on the window to gain focus*
- Tab
- Enter
*Or ctrl + tab^n / (ctrl + shift) + tab^n, which isn't much better.
2.

Additionally, canceling a quote no longer takes you back to the assembly-line/quantity dialog so that you can reduce your number of runs if you're satisfied with making less of an item that you were short of mats on, or if you're trying to adjust the number of runs to meet your sleep cycle. Instead it completely cancels you out, requiring blueprint and assembly-line reselection.
And the red "Must Select 1 Item" on the quote dialog - that had me confused there for a bit, since there's nothing to "select", only buttons to press.
3. If you click on the 'Accept Quote' window (i.e. not on any of the buttons) to gain focus, and then hit enter, the window closes and the 'Installing Job' message pops up. The 'Installing Job' screen then hangs indefinitely, and has to be closed manually via Esc (also, it's modal, so you can't do anything else until you've closed it). The job still installs ok when this happens, but it's very buggy behaviour.
Suggested fixes
- Make the 'accept quote' window gain focus when it pops up.
- Have the 'accept quote' button selected by default.
- Revert the behaviour of the 'cancel quote' button to how it previously worked, i.e. returning the user to the previous window
- Dare to dream - perhaps those 2 windows should be combined into one?

It's almost like this entire interface is sadistic and terrible and has been that way for years!

The industry interface was already bad; this patch managed to make it worse!
Supporting Kazuo's proposal for our collective sanity
(and what about a real industry UI revamp in a future patch) |

Please fix this thing that was not tested by CCP because they don't play the game or apparently test it properly.

Thanks guys,
these issues have been fixed internally and will be deployed in a later patch.

Thank you for clarifying. Is this something that can be done as an 'optional' client patch, or will it have to wait for a larger one?

Remove invention result dialog box while you are at it, completely useless button clicking.
Also, batch install.
