Since the update when selecting an attack using energy all the on-screen icons (goals, world, menu, etc) are effectively "greyed out" until after the attack is completed.
Logically this is the "remedy" for the glitch....
Typical Gree though, it's a "not quite right" fix as it is causing a mixture of game lock-ups, freezes and (the worst issue) is causing my i-phone game to not only drop the wireless connect but to not re-link to it until the phone has been reset.
On the verge of dumping all things Gree once I achieve a game goal I set a long time ago so will persevere for a little bit longer and then just delete the app.
There are still some "airplane" glitching....
