Pretty sure. I just leave it in full screen mode now, so no more problems

Yes, but when I go back to full screen, the science screen remains cropped....

Well I've found out what the problem was and got a workaround. It appears that when the games swaps from full screen to windowed , the aspect ratio of the screen gets messed up somehow and the bit of the science screen containing the all important blue button disappears. I have managed to retrieve it by going messing around with the resoultion and full screen modes, but it still seems to disappear every time I window the game. I have Science! (after a fashion)

Nope, checked what you are referring to on youtube vids of the science screen, and that button doesn't show up when I click on a new tree item.

Therein lies the problem, there is no visible means of spending the science points.....clicking on said science tree does not appear to do anything other than bring up the items that are avaiable at the next level ie goo container, decoupler etc etc but no means of unlocking them,

Science may well be wonderful, but doesn't appear to be working. It seems that no matter how many science I gather I can't unlock anything, although entertaining as it was to build, launch, orbit and deorbit a rocket made from a few basic components, the novelty is wearing a bit thin. Even a mystery goo container would be nice to help Jeb relieve the tedium of orbiting the earth in a rocket less advanced than a golf cart. Maybe it's because I'm running the Mac version - anyone else had this problem when playing on a Mac?
