[Ano]

A few smaller oddities about the generally rather nice expanded layout for the mech editor view:

• If you click on an item in the Warehouse, you get a popup window giving you the various performance stats about that item BUT it covers all of the left arm and part of the left torso. For resolutions that have sufficient space (which would definitely include 1920w and above), why not place that popup to the right of the warehouse windows -- that way it doesn't obscure the mech layout?
  
• I have a similar complaint re: the mech stats window -- why does this expand to cover the left leg and part of the left arm? Why not size and position the window according to available screen real estate. Also, because of the positioning (at 1920x1200 at least) the edge of this window blends in with the left leg header area and looks incredibly messy
  
• Also re: the mech stats window -- if it's going to be as wide as it is, why not stretch the stats table at the top on rescale so it fills the window properly? It looks obviously incomplete in expanded view.
  
• Interaction inconsistencies: if I left click on an item in the warehouse, I see a tooltip with details about the item. If I right-click, I get a bleep from the UI. If I left-click an equipped item, I get a bleep from the UI. If I right-click an equipped item, I get a tooltip with details about the item. Inconsistent!
  
• If I make some changes and want to undo them, how do I do that? I may have missed the "revert" or cancel button, but currently the only way I've found is to return the the mech select screen and attempt to select another mech -- at which point I get a popup asking me if I want to save my changes.

Cheers!

Agreed.

There's a lot of empty space in the Expanded view of the Mech Lab at the bottom, to the left of the Mech Stats box.

When selecting an item in the Warehouse box, the tooltip should open on the right side with 1920x1080, because there's empty space over there. This would be super easy to do.

The Warehouse box could be made semi-transparent, so we can see the 'Mech behind it.
