List your suggestions so we can have an organized list of all the issues on 1.18. (ill also copy paste issues/suggestions i see from the blizzard forum)

I'll start us off:

Problems:

- The mouse speed in window fullscreen mode doesn't feel anything like window 6/11 speed, it feels like there's enhanced pointer precision or something. Feels sluggish.

- Pixelation issue when you have the game in window fullscreen. (some say this might be an OpenGL issue)

- Chat channel disconnect (already been report as being a bug tho).

- If you ignore someone it ends up ignoring everyone in the channel until you log out and log back in again.

- Fullscreen mode stretches instead of maintaining aspect ratio on a lot of GPU's.

- The password field when logging into Battle.net doesn't seem to have a character limit, but when creating an account, the fields for entering and confirming a password have a character limit.

- A lot of general lag issues. (not sure if this is a real issue because its on the PTR)

- Sound cuts out entirely too fast when you switch screens. What I mean by that is, when you quickjump from your Nexus to your scouting Probe, all the sounds that were coming from your Probes mining instantly disappear. In 1.16, the sound fades gradually. Much less jarring.

- Dragoon froze while being micro'd! Didn't have to issue a "Stop" command but it refused to follow "Attack" command. Had to debug it with a "Move" command.

- Apparently my opponent built a Pylon that didn't provide any power - a bug that was present in BW, if I remember correctly, or there was something similar.

- In the lobby for UMS games with teams you can't cycle through the team position by clicking the team name. It just keeps you in the first slot of that team. So you can't select different characters on the team.

- This:
+ Show Spoiler +

- Alt-Tabbing from BW to your desktop is a bit buggy.

- Performance issues (overheating GPU, high CPU usage)

- My control groups 6 and 8 don't work, I've seen another person reporting it. Other cam keys/hotkeys randomly stop working.

Suggestions:

- Please add /f m and /f l again, being able to see what channel your friends are on has always been really useful in BW.. it's also nice to be able to /f l and /f m when your in a game lobby (as opposed to have to /w people).

- Please add a message whenever someone friend adds you. Make it so that we know we've been friend added by someone.

- Interface needs to be touched up, I'm not asking for an entire re-work but a better background image would be nice. Something that's warm and inviting as opposed to having a black and gloomy page.

- Account names being different colour from the text they write.

- Combining all map types into one long list of Open Lobbies isn't optimal and makes it hard to find games. It would be best if we're able to filter open lobbies by game type (e.g. Melee, Use Map Settings... etc.).

- Hotkey re-bind page needs to be more organized, right now everything is mixed in together. We also don't know if we have overlapping hotkeys, there's no error message.

- Can't view the latency/connection between users in the lobby, so when hosting a game we don't know if someone has a 1 red bar connection.

- Add back the 0 next to people who have yet to download the map in game lobbies

- When choosing a race we're not able to drag our mouse anymore on different options to select them, ditto for closing slots.

- Add localized hotkey profiles. Been playing with german hotkeys ever since and cannot test the patch properly because I don't want to screw up my hotkey set-up nor do I want to spend hours to customize every hotkey to match the german hotkeys by my own.

- Would be nice if we could override the in-game mouse sensitivity and use our windows sensitivity(so we don't need to adjust it). Assuming this is something that they willingly removed (and is not a bug).

- The colour of the text in the chat really needs to be looked at, very hard to read it.

- Would like status messages to be a different colour (like /help) from regular messages.

In-game unit bugs:

- Hallucinated Queens being able to infest command centers

- Zerg 'Ground Carapace upgrade gives +1 amor to Zerg Cocoons (air units)

- Units with Defense Matrix sustaining 0.5 points of damage per attack received (even if attack damage <= remaining matrix hit-points)

- A full-health Mutalisk cannot be killed in one "perfectly timed" salvo from 12 Ghosts (have tried this many times)
