"Full load any cargo" is shown to make it easier to select this most often used order type. You can just click it to set it. Other order types are available from the dropdown.
That applies to all others dropdowns - "Non-stop", "Full load any cargo", "Unload all", "Go To".

I just checked it works fine.

It may work fine on your computer but it is not working on mine. I know how to select options in a combo. They simply do not stick. They revert to the same choices all the time.

Does it mean you can't set the order to "No loading", for example?

Exactly. I drop down the options, I highlight No Loading with the mouse and right click then the combo shuts but the No Loading does not appear. I can only get one option in each of the order combos. Please note that I can make changes on other combo boxes. For example in the game options I can change the currency without a problem.

You are supposed to use left mouse button, not right, when selecting items from dropdown. Does using left mouse botton work?

edit: unless you are using left-handed mouse

To specify the problem more: the only broken is dropdown is "Full loading", and for all vehicle types? Can you post a savegame? Thanks

I use left mouse click. Just the way I have been using left mouse click for 25 years. This is what happens. I click Full load any cargo. It shows (Full load any cargo) in the order. Then I drop down the options from the combo box by clicking on the down arrow. I can see all 4 options displayed. if I select 'load if available' it will not select that but it will also unselect the Full load any cargo option and remove (Full load any cargo) from the order text. I think that the click event somehow does not activate the combo but what is behind.

Thanks for nice description. You mentioned "right click: in the previous comment, that's why I asked.

"Load if available" isn't shown after the order, the others ("No Loading", ...) should be. This is working as expected, except when you select "No Loading", it should show "(No loading)" next to the selected order.

I think that the click event somehow does not activate the combo but what is behind.

In the combo, there is always shown "Full load any" as the first item. It's clickable and if clicked, it sets order to "Full load any". The combo doesn't show current order type.

Yes I made a mistake. Right click does not do anything. It would have been good if the combo boxes had a keyboard option with cursor down and up and pressing enter.

The bug is serious. I have installed Ubuntu (same version) on a totally different computer (desktop rather than laptop) and the problem is the same. I cannot select options like "load if available", which makes the game unplayable.

andythenorth closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Won't implement

Unclear.

This is either a bug with order dropdown, for which there are no other open reports since 2010, so possibly either fixed since, or user error.

Or this is a feature request for cursor keys, which then duplicates #6074.

Flyspray clean up, nothing else obvious that can be done with this, so closing. Thanks.
