I tried clicking tab to get to the Done button like someone suggested but that doesn't work. There's no way to close the window and start again - you have to reload. When I came back after reloading the page, I was going to see if I could replicate the error. I was in full screen, clicked on boost, then hit escape but it worked fine (i.e., didn't replicate the bug). I don't know if you have to unload and dispatch first or whether there's an unknown variable I haven't isolated yet.

Hope this helps.

P.S. This really doesn't pertain to the new release because I've noticed it for quite awhile. I just assumed others had reported it so I never did. Feel free to move this wherever it needs to go but it would be nice to know where it is so I can follow it.

Try just doing all of it from the normal screen instead of starting it in the full screen. It may be that shifting from full to the normal is why it is winding up behind it.

Ok. It really hasn't bothered me that much - mostly just wanting to help by reporting a bug. I'm a software developer in my "spare time" so I know how valuable bug reporting can be.

Spare time == when I'm not playing FarmTown

You don't happen to use a plugin/addon called Hacker Vision do you? If so turn that off and see if it happens again.

I don't have Hacker Vision but I do have Chris Pederick's Web Developer Tools. When I heard that I was the only one who had reported this, I wondered if that might be the culprit. It's gotta be something I have on both machines that's atypical for other farmers. That addon isn't something I can turn off - I'd have to uninstall which isn't feasible because I use it daily. I'll just refresh my FT page when the "boost behind" window happens. Not a biggie.

I would be careful with that as it may cause problems with Farm Town.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the people that have that hacker vision and now blank your monitor is having problems with Farm Town, I don't trust an add on that has the word "hacker" in it or the name "blank your monitor". I am sure they could have come up with a better names for what these do, they might not cause problems, but I wouldn't trust them.
