Don't ask me what I'm doing in prison :p.

Anyways, my father (Khan of Liao/Mongolia) was challenged by the Yuzhi, lost and lost his head, so my character became his son, who was immediately imprisoned. The notification to pick a focus popped up, but it doesn't actually let you select anything. Not sure whether not being able to pick a focus in prison or not is WAD, but suspect at the very list if you're not supposed to be able to, the notification shouldn't pop up, so just mentioning it, in case it helps.

Screenies below, in case they help - the bottom one is to attempt to show, as best as possible, how when you click a focus to select it, nothing happens. For my starting character (I kicked off from a 1066 start) I was able to pick a focus with no trouble.

Edit: Was let out of prison a couple of minutes after posting this and could pick a focus just fine, so it looks like it's a prison thing. Maybe tweak it so the notification only pops when you're not in prison?

There should be some foci you can pick while in prison (theology being one). If you can't then that is the bug here, not the notification.

Cheers, sorry - didn't realise that. Fortunately, I'm playing so badly I got my son imprisoned as well, so was able to check, and I can select scholarship and a few others, and the buttons (still selectable) for the likes of war and intrigue do have the tooltip showing that it can't be selected because the character is a prisoner. So it's not a bug, per se, although it is an inconsistency with the UI (most buttons that aren't selectable because the conditions aren't met are greyed out), and that was what confused me. Apologies for the mis-post.
