MCM breaking and breaking HARD

MCM can break, and break hard.

At a certain point of using MCM the following occurs for me:

- You cannot access the sliders

- Left clicking / right clicking functionality is damaged

- Cannot escape from the SYSTEM, QUEST, and MISC menu, MCM will pop up for a short time and force you back into the System Menu.

- ALT tabbing from this bug causes game to subsequently crash as a consequence.

Latent functions triggered by option selections can back up and eventually prevent the MCM menu system from properly functioning. Latent functions are basically those functions that cannot run while a menu is open. For example, starting a quest is a latent function.

 

The solution for a mod author whose MCM is affected is to use the options to set values and then use those values to trigger the latent functions within an OnUpdate event after having been registered for within the OnConfigClose event. This process effectively pushes all the latent functions to be triggered when "back in the game world" rather than in the menu.

 

The solution for a user who runs into this situation would be to exit the MCM menu and return fully to the game after each mod's MCM menu and allow any processing associated with that mod to take place. At least until they can narrow down exactly which mod is at fault. At which point, just fully exiting to the game after that mod's MCM menu should be sufficient to evade the issue.
