I can't quite figure this one out. I've been working on my ORPG, and when I made the potions to sell at the Apothecary, it worked just fine. However, when I made the Blacksmith's items, I ran into a problem. Normally when I've put 12 items to be sold in a shop, or even 12 heroes to be selectable at the hero tavern, the "select hero" ability in the shop would simply disappear. I've included some images to show what I'm talking about.
This is what it should look like:

However, this is what it really looks like:

Also, a few images showing that the abilities of the shops are the same:

The editor doesn't let you change the X coordinate of an item beyond 2.

However, if you hold 'shift' and then change the value, you can make it beyond 3,
but anytime you click that shop with an item with a value beyond 2 in it,
you'll get a fatal error.

I've actually never seen a problem like this arise, and I've filled many shops with items before.
After some time trying to re-create this bug, I found nothing: it all worked as expected.
Well, except for adding 11 items instead of 12 of course :p.

(X can't go beyond 3, Y can't go beyond 2*)
But that doesn't really matter: Select Hero has button position (3, 2), which is within those bounds.

What you can try is this:
Go to the ability tab, press CTRL + F and enter "Select Hero".
That ability has the value "Data - Show Select Unit Button", set it to false.
Now it won't ever show up in those shops, not quite sure if that's what you had in mind though :p.
For ORPG's this usually doesn't matter, because you only have 1 hero anyway (what else are you going to select, huh?). If you want to switch to your bag, you can just move away a little so the bag gets selected.

WHY THE FLIPPING HELL DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT.

& Yeah I meant the Y coordinate, but you know what I'm talking about(;
And yeah I was surprised by this bug too, but it's all the same as the other shop.. All 12 items are there. D:

But yeah, I'm going to try that when I get the chance, hopefully it works.
