Cannot propose treaties

In my campaign as France, 1.02, I cannot select a treaty to propose to anyone, friend, neutral, or enemy. I go to the list of treaties I can propose, and try to click on the treaty I want to send. and nothing happens.
Then I check the treaty sent list, and there is nothing there. This has been going on for the first ten turns of the game.
Any guidance or help you can provided will be appreciated.

Dear Vaalen,
I did not got the issue with your saved game, but I'm in 1.03 public beta (which is stable rest assured). Would you like to try it? If not, try restarting the campaign and tell us if the problem remains.

Pocus, thank you for looking at it. I will try the latest beta, and restarting the campaign.

Unfortunately, even with the beta patch and a new game, the same problem.
I am beginning to wonder if the installation was corrupted somehow.
What do you think about uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and patching it with the latest beta patch?

I fixed the problem by changing the resolution.
When the screen was set to windowed mode, using the desktop resolution,1920 x 1080, the button to confirm your action did not show.
When I changed the settings to full screen, using resolution 1024 x 768, the confirmation button appeared,, and I was able to send treaty proposals.
I have no idea why this worked, except sometimes I have found that changing the resolution changes other things as well.
I wish I had tried this before I wasted your time, but later is usually better than never.
Thanks again, Vaalen

No time wasted, this is after all an interesting report to know that in some cases the interface have issues. Did you try windowed mode but without any border, i.e the default view of the game? Or is it because writing is too small in such resolution?

No, I had tried windowed mode with a border. That did not work, but I just tried windowed mode without borders, and the diplomatic interface worked fine. Thank you for that suggestion, as the game looks much better in the native resolution of my monitor.
The writing is not too small, because I am using an accessibility feature in windows that makes letters and icons bigger. This feature only works in Ageod games when you use the resolution setting
"Use Desktop resolution".
It does not work in any other games, including other Slitherine games. This is actually a unique advantage for Ageod Games
I am now wondering how many of the problems people have with the game could be solved just by using Windowed mode without a border?

That should be the default of the game!

It is working well for me with that setting. Should this be the default for all Ageod games?
If so, I have a lot of settings to revise, as every Ageod game has an honored space on my hard drive!

Yes by default all Ageod games are using your desktop resolution, to prevent fuzzy fonts, and are in fact working as a maximized window without border. That's so far the best setting we found.
