Summary0028262: Command/Build must be manually cancelled to do things
DescriptionThis is maybe appropriate for clicking the unit directly in the street view. Maybe. It's inappropriate for clicking a unit directly in map view, and deeply inappropriate to clicking a unit in the Forces menu; the latter two (And I would say all three, tbh, but I Do legit see a reason for the first) should all swap you automatically from build/command to the unit menu. This never stopped tripping me up.

I feel somewhat similarly about having to manually watch reinforcements arrive, but I _did_ get used to that, and I absolutely see the utility there, whereas with the unit one I sorta get it in one instance, but def would never prefer it.
TagsNo tags attached.

I have to agree here. Since you can't issue orders to your forces while in the build mode or command mode, it ideally should just pull you out of those modes when you select a unit.

Two people reporting having to cancel out of Command/Build mode seems awkward.

This part confuses me. Do you have the "watch low-priority NPCs" on? That's the only reason that should happen, unless I'm misunderstanding what is going on. Otherwise it doesn't make you watch that.

Thanks!

* Mode exit improvements:
** When you are in command mode and select a unit that is not related to the specific kind of action you're doing (like load or unload, or set stance, etc), then it now selects those units takes you out of command mode.
** When you're in build mode, and you select any unit at all, then that takes you out of build mode.
** In both of these modes, selecting structures does not take you out of the mode.
** Also in both of these modes, if you select a unit (not just move the camera to them!) using the forces sidebar, it now takes you out of the mode.
