That's because it is a cheat and enabling it would show that as you being a cheater even when you haven't cheated in-game.

So molding the landscape for free, building new industries for free and generally being god is fine (that's what the scenario editor does), but "building while paused" is a "cheat"? That's why I reported it as a bug - it's very ... inconsistant.

It IS consistent. You cannot do anything while the game is paused - no matter if you are in game editor or in normal game.

However, there may be changes in the pause mode, so I am assigning this task to me.

I agree with Smatz. It is consistent. Plus the time is actually frozen in scenario mode. The tile processing is on (which is not the case in normal mode) but time does not increment. And that is what is the more important thing here. Build-When-Paused freezes the tile-processing. This is not the same status as in scenario mode.

Attaching simple patch that fixes it - if in editor, you can build even while paused (and without marking you as a cheater). In the game nothing changes (build in pause only as a cheat)

Building while paused eats less CPU time (since the tile processing is OFF), which may be useful for large maps and computers that are either slow or that have very noisy fans that power up once the CPU usage is too high (most notebooks, including mine)

With 2048*2048 map, openttd eats about 15% CPU time when doing nothing in editor and only 2% when paused (Athlon 3000).
