I just installed the latest Dev version("2.6") for the first time in months to try it out.
Maybe I'm missing something very simple about the new UI... but I cannot seem to hire new employees in this version.
Attached here is a screenshot of the scientist hire screen at my home base, where neither the HIRE nor the FIRE button reacted to my clicks.
Of course, being the first base, there is already a complete laboratory in place, and there is a vacancy for 10 more employees. (30/40 default occupancy)
Is this a bug?
