[BUG] Tresure map hunting and the repeating cursor target

I have this problem with several of UO's systems. namely toggling quest items, insurance, applying poison manually, and now, treasure hunting.

90% of the time when the uo client needs me to target two things back to back, the second cursor disappears instantly. its not possible for me to treasure hunt right now. after i use the pickaxe on the map, the cursor vanishes when i need to click where i want to dig. by vanish, i mean the target cursor goes away and i just get my hand back.

Does ANYONE else have this problem?
its driving me insane...

For t-maps just drag a shovel in a hotbar. Then set target to stored on the tmap you going to dig up. Then you only have to press the key and target the ground right away.

I suppose, it is a problem with the targeting options. If it is not messing up your playstyle, you could test setting your targeting options to legacy. (It is under the legacy tab of your user settings.)

I have legacy targeting, and i will try this shovel hot bar thing. But what i'm really getting at is do other people have this problem with the second target cursor bugging out.

I dont unless i have it in a macro and then its usually because of no delay or something I have wrong in the macro!

Also I do NOT use legacy targeting

Yes I do have the same problem, but it doesn't happen often enough to make me give up on anything. I'm thinking one in three attempts, which is still quite frequently.

just thought of something If I remember right their are some options for target queuing under the options setting you may want to check these and see if one of those is affecting it! Just a idea i have mine off
