6) icon bugs ... scroll any container (items, corp hangar, or an actual container) too fast and the icons for the currently visible items will have the icons for things that are at the top but beyond the visible area ... this seems especially prevalent when there's blueprints in the container
8) click and hold on any draggable object (items in a container, although it works especially well with userlists). while holding your left mouse button, click your right mouse button once. then, while still holding your left button, click and hold your right mouse button and drag to open space. release both buttons and the clear icon thingy stays there. repeat for anything else draggable, and you'll eventually get a lot of half-dragged objects floating around
Actually got irked by both of these again tonight trying to drag people around in my Buddy List to different folders to sort them out. Also the bug where you select a few items, then scroll at all and it will highlight different selections on new pages even though you never selected those items (these may or may not be actually selected, sometimes its just a phantom selection, other times it is an actual selection which really messes you up!).
I definitely agree that the longest bug is DRONES. They have not worked right since the day they were implemented, CCP has done lots of stop-gap fixes such as reducing the number you can use at once (huge reduction..used to be dominix could deploy something like 20-30 drones at once IIRC - it was impressive to see!), and many other supposed fixes to get them to listen to their owners. I think the problem with drones lies not necessarily in their order coding but in how their AI code handles aggression ordering. What I mean by that is how they decide when they are off doing something to rank a new target they can 'see' to be a higher priority than existing targets and thus switch what they are doing and ignore your original order. I think their AI in this respect is taking over from your existing set of orders. I've not actually seen any of the drone AI code, but whatever is there definitely doesnt work right right now, and I just can't see how lag can possibly be an explanation for all of the crappy drone behavior.
CCP will drones *ever* work half as good as the original premise for them was?
