Here’s a quick hotfix that fixes a regression in last night's build. Thank you to lexilogo, Evil Bistro, ad Anticept for the quick reporting!

0.653.2 Hotfix 6

Fixed an regression in the prior build that was causing the helpful information about buildings to override your normal mouse handling in certain cases. This made structural engineering by vehicles and androids functionally impossible, and it was apparently also interfering with some other specific android actions if you hovered over the buildings rather than the icon.
