Shift has forsaken me.

That's odd, I could swear restarting didn't work last time.

Ah well, thanks! Back to normal!

I have no time to test it now, but this seemed to happen to me after I didn't capitalize my pretenders name once when testing game setups. At least I was unable to capitalize a pretenders name again, didn't try if shift worked anywhere else. Restarting the game fixed it.

It happens to me quite often acually, but luckily restart helps. Seems quite a common problem

It's a pretty common problem for computers in general, atleast for PC operating with Windows. I'm not sure why, but my guess is that when you play with the video it throws off the way the computer interprets data. If you alt+tab, it'll often damage the graphics, displaying them in various "off" manners. This is a bug I've already seen people writing about. The shift problem you're experiencing is likely in the same family, although I haven't personally experienced it, and problems with resizing seem to be much less common than fully opening or closing. If restart helps, that reinforces my interpretation, because it means resizing is somehow causing the program to "skip".

I learned of the graphical messup from alt-tabbing the hard way. Though it seems one can bypass the weirdness by making sure you're in the standard world map when you minimize

Yes, I like how my troops turn into big letters of the alphabet. If you have kids, you could alt-tab, hand the computer over to them, and Dom3 becomes not only educational, but fun for all ages! I know, it's a glitch, but it's a happy glitch that we can learn to love.
