I can reproduce this.

It's a blessing in disguise: backspace should not trigger browser back button, crosshair mouse mode or any other weird tricks. Backspace just means erase that letter to me.

Btw, have you tried adding "bind backspace mousestate" in uikeys?

You must have something that unbinds that event in ba, because in that can not be reproduced. "Any+backspace mousestate" is default binding and if you do not unbind it, it will work.

Jools I have no idea what you are talking about & please don't make off-topic comments on mantis.

There is nothing in BA 8.01 which binds/unbinds backspace.

edit: but BA 8.02 will set "unbind backspace mousestate", as a hotfix for this issue.

How about if you test with some other mod before making engine bug report. This is not engine issue.

Firstly, if you'd bothered to read it, *I* did not make this report. Secondly, if you'd bothered to read it, *I* did not mention which game(s) or whatever else I might have originally tested with.

In fact I tested with FLOZi's "minimal" A.sdd game from (http://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:SpringABC). This contains no widgets and no gadgets except unitscript.

Moreover, I check https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/3335a9eeaa4c8275dfebd2143d1c3e5fe6f4829b/doc/uikeys.txt#L173 to discover that the engine binds backspace to mousestate.

So, Jools, *YOU* can test stuff properly before posting crap on other peoples mantis' in future, please. If you wish to write "cannot reproduce with XTA" then, go for it, but cut out your crappy false assumptions.
