[12.1 - Geoscape] Unable to cancel "build base" (and the application Escape)

1. I pressed the "build base" button by accident in Geoscape.

2. Then i tried to click on another management button next to it, and nothing happened, i tried pressing everything except on the map and nothing changed...

3. Then i pressed somewhere on the map and then cancelled the base position, but i could not cancel the pressing of the "build base" button.

4. I had to either build a base i did not want, or reload from a savegame.

Suggestion:

In my mind this should be something you simply cancel by pressing Escape. Also when you are in the inventory screen for a soldier (in Ground Combat) and press Escape, the game goes to the menu, and does not just leave the inventory screen, as in any other game i remember with an inventory screen.

I do not know if it is intentional, that Escape take you to the menu, but normal gaming logic tells me it should take me one level out of where i am, with Geoscape as the final place. And if i am in a Air or Ground Combat situation then the main (Air or Ground) combat screen should be where you end up, before getting the menu.

I also think the present application of the Escape button makes the game unhelpfully harder to manage, and means you are spending unnecessary time going through menus.

Same thing happened to me --- then I right-clicked. All good!

Does this work for you?

Right clicking will disable the base building mode.
