Summary0024301: Galaxy preview not always updated when setting up a custom game
DescriptionWhen I set-up a custom game (custom start) and play around with the galaxy settings the preview on the right side is sometimes not updated. At least not when doing the changes too fast.

Example:
1. "Reset To Defaults" --> Correct preview on the right side
2. Set Planet Layout to "Small Circular" --> Preview is updated
3. Set Planet Layout back to "Rectangular" --> Preview is NOT updated

I can avoid that by always waiting several seconds before changing something again.
This is on a fast PC, so PC performance shouldn't be the problem.

Also: When applying "Reset To Defaults" the field for Planet Layout is not set back to Rectangular (although the preview shows a rectangular layout).

System information:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core
16 GB RAM
GTX 1060, 6GB
Lubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

It tends to be slow when updating the planet layout. Not sure what's causing it. Perhaps the debug log has clues?

> Perhaps the debug log has clues?

Very good point! Below is the part from the log which belongs exactly to the three steps I used for my example in my report. The last line shows the problem: It seems the last mapgen call was skipped because it was assumed as being "substantially the same" as the one before. But this is wrong. I have changed a setting again, so the mapgen call should have been triggered again.

I've had this issue too. I always figured that that was what the regenerate button was for.

This should be fixed as of earlier this year. Thank you!
