Interesting, but annoying glitch

Yes I'm having the same issue.

Occasional but not enough to ruin my fun

BlakeC02309 · April 2, 2015 9:28PM

I am having the same issue.. I actually had just posted in the Bugs and Issues section about 20 minutes before I saw you posted this.. Like I said in my post, it is more of just an inconvenience, so yes, kind of annoying! Heheh

Happened to me a couple of times yesterday but seems to have stopped now.

It happens to me whenever a building is ready for an action (as in, when the Simpson house is ready for me to collect money). If you don't want to be interrupted, your best bet would be not to tap on Simpson house, Kwik-e-mart, or brown houses right before you start assigning your characters jobs. I'm sure they'll get to this bug soon.

This has been happening to me as well. I didn't think about that possibly being the cause. Good thinking!

Unfortunately, I usually tap through all the handshakes on my cheap buildings, then clear out the thumbs to complete tasks, then start re-assigning tasks. I'll have to think about rearranging how I do things - or waiting for the last of the cheap buildings to regenerate before I start because some times it will do it over and over.

It happened twice to me tonight while assigning my nightly tasks, but I thought my screen or finger was just dirty, or I miss-tapped. Yes, interesting, but annoying. Not annoying enough that my complaint is much, though. Yet. Dun dun dunnnnnn.

Happened to me countless times since the update came out. It's that annoying yet, but I hope they fix this soon. It'll start bothering people real soon, if it hadn't already.

For me this only happens occasionnaly.

Will check out the suggestion it being related to collecting from fast generating cash buildings/houses.

Happening to me too as well as a visual glitch where trees suddenly become sharey bobbins etc

Finally took the time to verify my EA account so I can post on the forums because I was curious about this problem. Wasn't sure if it was the game or just my tablet acting up. Yay for not needing a new iPad!

Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one. It started happening to me after the update, but I had also just gotten a 5000 item warning so I thought it might be because of that. I'm glad it's not.

maximbarne126 · April 3, 2015 6:51AM

I'll go see if it's happening to me now. I haven't noticed anything... :?

Starman_thc · April 3, 2015 9:15AM

It has been happening to me quite a bit. There does not seem to be any pattern to it. Sometimes it will happen as soon as the window opens, and sometimes it will happen later. For me, there is nothing else going on in the game to cause this (that I can see), and it is very sporadic.

I was also going to post about this, but I wanted to see if I could discern any pattern or correlation to explain it...nothing I can see yet...

I have observed this weird task menu disappearing as well. It is a bit frustrating. Hopefully it will go away soon.

Getting back on this... it happens regardless of collecting/not collecting.

tappedout1996 · April 14, 2015 7:33AM

I still have this.

LPNintendoITA · April 14, 2015 8:15AM

please go to EA Answer HQ http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Simpsons-Tapped-Out/character-task-menu-not-staying-open/m-p/4480367#M9958 and click on Me too. Let EA know that it happened to you too!

Starman_thc · April 14, 2015 10:21AM

Not sure if this makes any difference or not, and also still trying to see patterns, but what I have noticed is that this appears more related to the character finder than the character. If I click on the little icon in the top left of the screen, if the task window dissappears, the character will reappear in the top left (as if I never tapped him). If I tap on the character himself, the window doesn't seem to dissappear...

Interesting, but annoying glitch
