(this is not on test server btw) (i havent even tried that yet) im running xp, and a 7900gt, now i have been using the new drivers the nvidia ones for my card, but i cant tell when these silly gui bugs and some serious ones came in... be it during patch(s) or in nvidia drivers...
so i want to know if ppl get this... right now one of my chars has the overview closed and i mean that some how it got resized to the same position as closed is.. so open close has same effect O_o no overview, i do not wish to clear all my cache that would be stupid, i tried number of times to clear out the windows settings or positions and nothing...
i also get lots of buggs with doing show info and getting like a screen that has no data but messed up window, with the close buttons like some place screwed up... and a lot of text windows even in the petition window are going out of the frame of the window and get screwed up some times...
 its hard to say if its nvidia drivers or the patch... i had same issue with previous nvidia drivers so i thought upgrading to newest ones atm would solve it but it does not.
The windows get fixed after relog, but this overview thing has been that way after a relog O_o

Ive had the overview problem before, infact I currently have it with the gang section of the overview. Theres no choice but to wipe the cache to solve the problem unfortunatly.
However what I did last time was replace the cache with a backed up version before I got the bug, that way I didnt loose bm folders and settings. If you happen to have copyed the eve folder in order to play on the test server nick the settings files from there.

I have exactly the same problem with the Gang window and sometimes with cargo windows which appear empty.
Isn't there a file that you can backup containing the BM's?

well i was told to try to back up settings and prefs.ini and then let it create default.. but thats nice and all but it does not fix the problem when i put them back O_o
also it seems to be stored in the settings folder... and not an issue with perfs.ini
what sucks is reset window positions should rest such things as gang and overview O_o it is a window so i do not understand why that option does not do that... very sad, i might have it from other account folder, or from my laptop but no i guess i will start to back up the settings and prefs.ini more often esp when patching too

hehe did anyone else try this trick? i want to know if it worked for others as well :) then the devs can take a look at whats going on and maybe get a clue... IMO the overview settings should not be linked with other chars it should be independent and also reset window positions should rest like everything that is GUI based that can be resized that includes the overview/gang/drones etc...
that button should do it to default

Screenshot? The explaination, you gave, is a bit vague. Only tells me that you see bugs but not which ones.

oh its quite simple as far as the overview is... simply you know when you close it or minimize to get it out of the way... well it gets stuck that way... toggling it does nothing at all, people had this i think with gang and even drones.
the gfx glitches are, well right when the window is about to load say showinfo, all you end up is with a window box on display that becomes completely unusable, even if it has close minimize buttons, it is if its not there, but it is visually there.
also in some windows were there is text box, like say petition, the window its self can not be resized or does not resize, and thus the text box extends beyond the window though is still functional, that always happens and stays.
also a temporary display bug when dragging someone from one channel to another, you get a clear beveled portrait outline stuck some place on the screen... but is fixed by dragging someone again.
the overview issue is not fixed with a relog or anything like that, its some setting, and it some how migrates its self on the whole account.
the gfx glitch of the windows is fixed with client exit or i think session change.
And I will try to get pictures if its still needed.

Gang and drone window sometimes starts working again when you join and/or leave gangs.
If the whole overview gets stuck ... delete the whole EVE installation (manually so you wont lose any other stuff you installed on the comp - EVE uninstaller had some problems sorting directory structures) or pray that it fixes itself. Just deleting the prefs.ini or the folder /machonet under /eve/cache or the whole folder /cache doesn't do the trick in most cases.
Remember that you're going to lose the browser bookmarks, the BM structure (not the BM themselves) and parts of the notebook - and all your customisation to the overview - like 'Show POS structures' and 'Show biomass'.

The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing.

Excellent suggestions Tachy -
Creating a gang fixed the gang portion of the overview, but only after I emptied my drone bay. I was unable to fix the drone control component in the overview via this method (but now that I think about it, perhaps one could empty their drone bay in space, dock, undock and collect the drones again... same idea as the gang creation fix)
In the end I fixed the drone control issue by deleting the cache folder. All settings reverted but that's trivial.
