Upgrade your Nodes with defensive lasers or build shipyards to augment your fleet. Capture super-weapons to cut swathes through your enemies' fleet. Play against up to three AI players in frantic, randomised melees matches. Or complete the Campaign mode to help Admiral Sudo (your robotic commander) reclaim his lost empire.

Present in both versions 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 .
This is a cosmetic bug - not affecting performance at all.

When selecting a checkbox item in the settings menu, the item changes colour when the finger touches the item, and should revert back once the finger is removed - this is presumably standard Android menu behaviour.

However, I'm seeing the changed colour persisting, that is: when I select a menu item, the item changes colour and stays the same colour.

The simple case to reproduce is simply selecting any item - the colour remains changed. The more strange cases (where only the area around the checkbox remains changed, or the thin stripe down the right-hand-side) are from randomly rapidly selecting settings and happen unreliably and are thus not strictly reproducible.

The case of the stripe down the side is possibly a side effect of this other bug .

See the screenshots below for various examples. The first is normal, the other three are examples of the bug.
NB: these screenshots are from when I was running Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 (normal colour is black, changed colour is blue, no I'm not apologising for my choice of font :P)

I'm now running Android ICS 4.0.4, and the changed colour is now orange, but the same basic bug concept occurs... I have seen the stripe appear sometimes, but not the colouring around the check box.
