But I only moved the way it was accessed - not the gui itself. It might be that we have actually exposed some old bugs of course. > I suspect that you and I are using the UI in a different way and > there's something broken in the (complex) UI logic.

First problem seems to be related to the mouse - here it gets stuck in the "coverage" field if you enter it (you don't actually need to). You can get out of it by hitting tab and then right mouse click.
Second problem is that if you then close the manual entry window and then hit either OK or Apply the weather reverts to the METAR data and the manual entry fields are all set to the default value. Hitting close works OK and the manual data is applied. Third problem is that sometimes when I enter values on a cloud coverage line then move to another line to fill in data there, the first entry line reverts to the default values. I can't reproduce this reliably, nor can I identify any cause. I haven't seen any of these problems before, but I wouldn't claim that they weren't pre-existing: it is entirely possible that I never tested the right combination of entry conditions. They're pretty obvious though when you do encounter them. > > > > We seem to have lost the ability to use /NIL as a METAR input - very > > > useful during fdm development to remove weather effects.
