Anyone know how come I get that capital B as my mouse cursor sometimes instead of the build squares?
Could be a hot key I'm accidentally hitting, but I don't know what.

Did you pick a build order, click in the minimap (without
releasing), and then move your mouse outside of the minimap?

Happend to me also. From some point on, when building, the cursor remained that annoying red B. It was annoying because I could not see if I can build in a spot or not...
@trapan. If I do that is also happens, but when I release it turns back to normal, so there must also be another bug...

The situation I described is not a bug, that's the way it's supposed to work.
Having it get stuck with a big red 'B', now that is a bug... I just wrote some
code that should help you get out of that mode (if not prevent it). I've never
gotten stuck with the 'B' myself, so it would help if you could figure out how you
got into that situation and report it. That would make it possible to verify my fix
before the next release.

I've never seen the B before. How is it produced normally?

Start a build command, place your mouse cursor in the minimap.
Green - good spot to build
Red - not such a good spot
I added it along with the minimap controls change. I'll sometimes
want aircraft builders to make a distant structure (relative to my
current view), so I figured the build indicator might be useful.

It happened to me again. (and sorry I didn't noticed what I did

).
The good thing is that if I repeat the actions you have told, (click build order on minimap and then drag to outside) it reverted back to normal (after releasing the mouse).
If I will understand how it gets stucked I will describe it...

Hey, how did you change the size of items at the left side?

note that ctrlpanel.lua needs to be renamed to gui.lua or something.
