The views popping up is an ancient bug. It is caused by plugins that change their title way early in their life if I remember correctly.

That sounds reasonable. I will do some testing with only DHS enabled, but DHS NEVER pops up, so I'm not sure it will replicate the behavior. I think thats the only UI that absolutely never ever pops up unbidden.

It seems to happen more (or maybe I just notice it more, hard to tell) when I'm dual logging with ACDC.

I remember hearing that. It may also apply to changing the icon and other view properties as well.

VTank changes both its title and its icon during plugin startup, which could cause it to pop up when it is not running in VVS mode.

SSSort changes its location during plugin startup.

The views popping up bug should be fixed in the next version.

on top of stuff doesn't seem to be an admiral location to me. personally rather be far away and upwind (or is it down wind???).


but yes they seem to be tracking down these annoying ancient glitches and removing them left and right.


just have to wonder what new ones, if any, have been planted deep within the code to surface only later.

Thanks Virindi! Considering what the Decal code base is, I'm frankly amazed at all you're able to accomplish with such ease. Thank you!

Well, it is messy. But this was just a case of a variable not being initialized properly and then being used in the setTitle code. Surprisingly easy.
