After I click a certain number of people on my bt or npcs when I go to target them the pop-up for their ships does not come up. Same thing with planets. I can reset the page by clicking the tab again, but it keeps happening and when I want to kill a bunch of npcs it gets rather annoying.

I've only seen it on the planet pages but I have also seen it and it does suck.

i've noticed also that the pop ups for killing an elite don't appear right away , sometimes minutes later , even if you're the one that killed it

the buttons stop functioning if you close one of the popups as it is loading. it requires you to click on the tab or refresh to get them to work.

yup which is exactly what this thread is about. Thanks for clarifying the exact cause.
