      windy premium, windows 11 Pro, firefox 148.0.2 and edge 145.0.3800.97

      I no longer see it in drop-down menu when right click on a spot.

      It is one of my most frequently used feature. Feature still intact on Android version, but it is not always convenient for me to use due to small screen.

        and while I am at it. Is it possible to have a toggle switch so that I can leave weather picker on by default (similar to behavior on Android) whenever I lookup a location, either by search or via favorites? I have read others complaining about weather picker in the other direction (want less of it).

            @Chris-Chapel @hzvacation Hello, the picker is still initiated by the click into the map by the standard click.

              @Suty Sorry No I have no picker regardless of what I click. Please put it back in context menu (right click mouse.)

                @Suty left click will bring forecast for the location, if click is close enough to a saved favorite, but does not bring weather picker for the location

                  left click on a location far enough away from a saved favorite will bring the weather picker. But why the mind boggling confusion? Can there just be a user configurable flag/toggle under settings where I can set it to looking up a favorite/location will always bring weather picker by default?

                    @hzvacation Okay, so you are talking about opening the weather picker, when the forecast details is displayed already, correct?

                      @Suty thanks! Yes, I would love to have a flag/toggle in settings where I can set my preference. So whenever I select a favorite or do a search in the search box, both the forecast and the weather picker result will be displayed. Is that possible?

                          @Suty thank you for your reply! Shall I submit a Request for Enhancement for a toggle switch under settings where users can decide whether they want picker to show by default whenever they lookup a favorite/location? I remember many moons ago that used to be the default behavior, then some idiots :-) complained and then default was set to not show.

                            @hzvacation The change was made on our end and it was a mistake, or we can say side-effect.

                              @Suty Thanks! So I can keep my hopes up for a toggle switch for picker under settings? :-)

                                I lost the weather picker also and was my most useful tool in this program. I use it constantly when docking ships. Please return it as soon as possible.
