0. Happened to me twice or thrice, that orders during battle are not more clickable. You can actually click on the icons, but nothing happenes, like you never clicked. Never got it if not fighting. Last time happened to me 3 minutes after sinking a ship, when submerged and hunted. Very frustrating and quite dangerous. Key shortcuts work however.

1. BdU reported an enemy task force twice, I met it and sunk the flag ship. Nine more ships (destroyers, maybe frigates too) went further after some DC'ing. Some time later BdU reported the task force again, but this time it was not "enemy task force...", but nine separate "enemy warship" reports in the very same second. Looks like sinking one ship changed the task force into seperate records in data base (April 14 '40, Wesserubung, NW of Norway, VIIB, 2nd Flotilla Wilhelmshaven). Screenshots:





2. My gramophone started playing WITHOUT ORDER about half an hour after escorts stopped DC'ing and went their way and I was slowly surfacing. I usually have the gramophone on, but always switch it of when hunting/hunted and I'm sure I didn't switch it on again this time. It started playing the only track in "Gramophone" folder that is SH3 related, sounds like some victory or battle music. I got my "music" option off.

My config:
Windows XP Pro SP 2, Polish version
SH3 + GWX 2.0 + SH3Commander latest version.
Mods:
- GWX - Captain's America Officer Icons,
- GWX - Lite Harbour Traffic,
- Nav Map Bearing Tool (only TGA files),
- GWX 2.0 - no RING RING mod by Melendir.

I can confirm your first issue (0), on GWX 1.3 btw, I think it happens when you right click for example the sonar man and give order for example to follow the closest ship when he refuses to do so because he has no contact although the target is maybe 1000 meters away... I think when you give orders from any of the stations you can man yourself, even to other stations through the icons on the bottom left, you get this. When it stops I usually get a whole lot of messages in the text window of all the orders I have given, I don't know how I got it to work again like it should tho, but i got it to work through trying several things, of which I obviously don't know which fixed the issue.

Issue number 2 happens all the time, don't think it's a bug, if you occupy the time of some escort long enough they'll also show up as a taskforce


Issue number 3, never had this happen, but I only rarely listen to the grammophone.
