Take any ability that requires a target ( say sentry - force field or stalker - blink). If you don't meet the requirements to cast that ability (not enough mana, cooldown active, ability is disabled) you cannot get to the target selection. However, If you meet the requirements for one cast and cast the ability WHILE still holding the abilities hotkey down it can happen that you stay in the target selection even though the requirements are no longer met for a second cast (e.g. you don"t have enough mana anymore). Visually, the mouse cursor becomes white and only becomes yellow again as soon as the requirement are met (which is the behavior you would expect when holding down the shift key while pressing the hotkey). This happens for me in around 1/3 of the cases and possibly depends on the keyboard repeat rate as well.
Are there any ways to prevent this from happening? Either via a direct way (probably data) or a work around that cancels the target selection as soon as the ability has been casted (probably trigger-ish).
thanks a lot.
