Fast Selling Recipes to Vendor

[krj12]

A minor bug, but somewhat annoying....

 

After doing a farm or a number of missions, I usually have quite a collection of recipes to sell, many of which sell for very little on the AH.

 

When selling a stack of the same recipe to a vendor,   I've noticed that selling too fast results in the focus being taken off the list, which slows down the process

of selling everything.    I have to slow down to a crawl on the last couple of items in the stack to maintain focus on the enhancement list and allow it to progress to the next item or to the next stack.

 

I haven't seen this same bug when selling a lot of enhancements - of course that might be because they don't stack.

 

I would much appreciate it if this could be fixed.

I agree the loss of focus should be looked at, however I have found a work around.  In the vendor window, right click your stack of white recipes.  A pop up menu has the key letter E to sell entire stack....so, right click, E, right click, E.....easy to skip past yellow and orange recipes you may want to sell on AH instead.

 

Good luck and happy hunting!

This, allows you to not sell those useful orange recipes worth a few million for a measly 10,000

I usually put those on the AH first, so I don't have to worry about it.    I just want an easy way to blow through the remaining junk recipes - I will try the right click method next time.

Works the same on salvage too, which also suffers from the loss of focus problem.

Without looking at the code, I can't say for sure, but I'd bet it's related to the position jumping when taking items out of base storage -- the recipes are stored internally in a straight list in the order you got them, and the display groups them, and it's the display handler that's getting confused about where you are in the list. For example, if you got recipes A, A, B, C, A, C, B, A, you'd see 4xA, 2xB, and 2xC; if you sold two As, the list display wants to move the other two As to the end (2xB, 2xC, 2xA), but it can't, so it loses track of where you are in the list.

I'm not sure that's the issue.  If I get down to 2 items in a stack, then take it very slowly, it works fine.   I think there's some issue with asynchronous code getting out of sync with the list - doesnt seem to handle a lot of gui interactions very well in a short span of time.
