Preliminary checks

• I've checked that there aren't other open issues on the same topic.

Describe the problem requiring a solution

It seems like sometimes player changes his mind and wants just to skip number selection.

Without cancel button and small available range of numbers it could be quite annoying to get back to the previous dialog.

Describe the possible solution

I suggest adding "Cancel" button to this dialog for easier returning to the previous window.

This virtual numpad is just a variant of the virtual keyboard. Have you ever seen the "Cancel" button anywhere on devices with a virtual keyboard (Android, iOS)? :)

Hi, @oleg-derevenetz !

Have you ever seen the "Cancel" button anywhere on devices with a virtual keyboard (Android, iOS)? :)

Well, there's always a device default cancel button in the bottom of the screen, that anyone can press to cancel keyboard. :)
I understand your point, but in a current implementation it is sometimes too difficult to return back to the previous dialog. If we're working with a tiny creature number (like - 1-3 monsters), we need to click precisely within these three buttons. If a player either had forgotten the initial number of available monsters, or trying to buy monsters having insufficient resources, he comes up with warning message, that he has to select specific numbers. He has to read the whole message to find out the range available or select numbers randomly trying to guess the number, that game will accept. By that time he obviously can decide not to select any number and just go back focusing on some other actions.
So there is no critical issue here, other than the current behavior is just a little unfriendly.

Virtual numpad could be cancelled with a click on the area outside of the window, but it lies out of the overall UI design and simply was not implemented before (requiring new logic for implementing such behaviour). So in my opinion having "cancel" button is a nice solution to return back without thinking what number I have to click to close this numpad keyboard.

If you think this enhancement is questionable, you are free to convert the issue to discussion. 🌞
