Escape not bringing up game menu after taking a census

Pretty self-explanatory. Escape key is my hotkey to bring up the game window, but often after running a census and Census+ UI is either minimized or closed, escape will simply not bring up the game menu. This doesn't happy all of the time, but quite often. Usually at some point later it will work just fine.

I cannot reliably reproduce this in order to track down the specific problem. I have removed all catches of the ESC key presses and yet this still appears to pop up every now and then.

I'll continue to mess with it and hopefully I can nail it down eventually. One thing that might help, is if the ESC key is unresponsive, open and close your who window and see if that helps.

This happened to me all the time; the cuplrit seems to be minimizing Census and auto-closing the Who window. Opening and closing the Who window will clear it.

I noticed that if one will turn off "Auto Close Who Window" option then the ESC key is not getting broke.
So seems the thing that couse problem is in AutoClosing Who code.

Thanks for that update adolf. I'll spend some time tonight taking a look at this.

My gut feeling is that even though the Friends panel is closed, that it is somehow catching the ESC key press, but since it is hidden, it is not doing anything.

I'll let you know!
