Aaah!  Someone please document this!  This nice fact should go in the
user manual and the tutorial.

Does it work to get an explorer if you increase the value then
immediately decrease it to what it was before (as long as it is
non-zero at the end)?

Maybe a different key than space should be used for the tutorial to
avoid the overlap with the default key binding for space.  Is using a
different key supported?

Yes, it now shows this at all times while the building is selected.
This now also works for flags.

(My patch for this merely disabled the old code for showing this while
the mouse button was held down.  I suggest this old code be simply
deleted now.  I find the new method completely satisfactory.)

Maybe this bug should be higher priority to fix.  :-)  ☺

That's strange!
