#Mex should NOT build on left click

This behavior is responsible for messing up so many build queues. If you box select and end ur box select corner at a mex, it will cancel whatever queue you were doing and try to build the mex with whatever unit you've selected. feels super buggy because left click should basically only mean select for everything. Binding anything else to it without you having explictly pressed a hotkey just messes everything up.

I guess a workaround would be if you change it from left click release to left click down or disable functionality while doing box select.

This absolutely

#

I'm left clicking to deselect. Not to build a mex.

There's another bug related to this, where if you build an off-center mex, then build another structure on top of the mex spot (e.g. off-center mex on ccr, llt on top of the metal spot), the mex will get un-queued

#

it has been driving me absolutely nuts recently. I might try to track down the cause of this in a couple weeks if someone else doesn't pick it up

Gonna throw in that oftentimes if you try to build a different building on an unclaimed mex spot it'll default to a mex. Happens often on maps like entrenched plains when you want to build a bulwark or tachyon on top of the hills it decides you actually wanted a forward mex instead.

I'd like to add in that it seems that if you click a building to build in your gui and it has a mex below it, it will queue the mex as well through your gui. I've only had this happen a couple of times, in a couple hundred of hours, and I only (think I) caught/understood what was happening the very last time (because I think that if this is truly what is happening it must be happening more often to me and other people). So there could be more to it, (and could technically be a bug), but removing left click from doing this would prevent this "bug"/"problematic feature" from happening as well.
