Actually this is not fixed as of 0.859, t least for me. The only faction I can reliably enable is the AI Risk analyzers. If I try to add anything else, the faction list gets reset or I get an error with the Devourer Golem or Zenith Trader.

I can confirm this is not fixed. If I enter a lobby with 2 AIs enabled, then enable the Risk Analyzers in the first open faction spot, it works. If I then put the Dark Spire in the second open faction spot then it resets the factions.

That's not the only scenario; for example, I can't enable the Dyson Sphere at all.

Got it; I had tested a few variants of this and it seemed fixed, but it's definitely not and I can (thankfully!) duplicate it. I was worried that this was something that was limited to just the release build somehow, but it's not.

Thanks!

* Some changes have been made to make the dropdown selection changes more synchronous (instant) rather than on a slight time delay. This allows for a few things to be controlled a bit better... in theory.

* Wow, a whole heck of a lot of wrappering and rework has been done on dropdowns to make it more clear when and how data is being set.
** We were actually still having the same problem with factions getting erased as soon as they were added in the prior build, along with some other known issues like dropdown stuff getting out of sync quickly that we did know about.
** All of this is traceable back to how the dropdowns handle data updates to themselves, and it's another question of "how did this ever work?" This one was a Chris area, not a Keith one, just in case anyone gets the wrong idea that any of the early code problems were all from one source (far from it).
** Issues fixed:
*** still couldn't add more factions
*** setup is being triggered when clicking to the factions tab, still, probably because the intermediate data is incorrectly populated
*** opening the MORE button for a factions tab still does a regeneration, probably because the intermediate data is incorrectly populated
** Remaining known issues:
*** the colors for the player are out of sync between the dropdowns and the visual display area VISUALLY, even though the underlying data is now correct.
*** custom data can be stale when switching map types in the lobby, although it's not causing errors per se.
