[Bug] Jester UI freezing when selecting nav from waypoint

[Shadowgrebacier]

I've primarily noticed this on servers with lots of map markers present on the F10 map (Through the Inferno as an example) that the Jester UI freezes when selecting edit primary flight plan via map markers, the selector remains over "map markers" the selection de-highlights and the entire center 2/3rds of the screen cannot be interacted with. The menu cannot be hidden, and will remain until you die, or reslot.

It is likely that one of the map markers injected a corrupt name. I would need to find out what exactly the map markers name was.

Perhaps you can help me by sending the offending mission, a screenshot of the F10 map where the names are shown, a track file (includes the mission) or the name of the server/mission so that I can connect to it myself

Have had this happen in a few Grayflag MP sessions. All while editing flight plans using map markers. Maybe it doesn't like " # " being used for map markers?

Same issue here, also on Grayflag.

Maybe add the option to completely restart Jester UI in case something like this happens.

Thanks, as an intermediate measure we will reject any characters in the UI that are not standard symbols like a-z 0-9 and similar. That should hopefully get rid of the issue

Thanks. If you'd like to test it yourself this also happens in the Nevada Through the Inferno mission provided with the F4. 

I sit in the cockpit cold and wait for all the scripts to activate. Once they do I try the standard edit flight plan > use map markers Jester option. As soon as I hit use Map Markers...the Jester wheel freezes.

Perfect, sounds like I can easily check it then, thanks
