If you right click on a terrain cell built by a bot outside your worlds
build zone, it turns into a hole.

That sucks. If you can't edit it manually, there should be no effect at all
when you right click... not a hole.

I never saw it happen tho I was dealing with zillions of terrains :)
Can you give me some location/example where I can see it sometimes?

Edit the terrain inside your build area, and make sure the last thing you
do there is make a hole.

Then, right click on terrain outside your build zone. It will make a
hole there.

This happens in several worlds in AW Europe. It seems it's also
setting the altitude as well. I just tried it again in a different world
and it's still happening.

Do you know what world server version those worlds are running on? I was unable to replicate your experience on the world server build 56 (the latest one).

In AWE the universe dialog says minimum world 43, latest world 56.
This is the uni that the terrain bug happens in.

In OW, the latest world says 43 and the bug doesn't happen.

Very odd. I will show the universe owner and let him get hold of the
AW team.

This bug is caused by mapping your right mouse button to the toggle
move mode action in the new control configuration dialog.

Apparently, right clicks are sneaking halfway through the "can't edit
terrain" logic when they are mapped in this way using the new dialog.

Good catch! I did not fiddle with my mouse control but doing as you described - it worked.

Thanks,
