Summary0000268: Strange distrotions in bastion screen
DescriptionWhen my mouse goes over the buttons in options etc I see blue outlines of the buttons. Also, if I roll over the barracks door and the ready room, the door and the stuff around it shifts position a little when it opens.
Additional InformationI got and installed the HOTU version of Freespace two, then downloaded the FS_open laauncher and EXE. I then extracted the Zpack of enhanced VPS and just ran the extractor to the FS2 directory. I also put the "devil dlls" into the main directory, and checked all the flags the launcher had available.
TagsNo tags attached.

Are you using Anti Aliasing? If so, turn it off and see if the problem persists

I've heard that the -pcx32 flag can sometimes cause this. I also know from experience that the -pcx2dds flag can result in the blue outline problem.

Selecting "Fix font disortion problem" on the Video tab in the launcher should fix the shifting problem. I really think that AA just needs to be forcibly disabled on the interface screens since it's causing numerous problems (icon offsets, slow font redraws, mask issues with mouse clicks). I think it only useful, visually, in-game anyway.

In any case this is really just a duplicate of bug 0000008.
