I have a slight problem when picking up multiple objects of the same type (i.e out of a crate, or buying from a trader who has multiples of the same item).
I remember from having played the game in the past that there should be a menu with a sliding bar that allows you to select the amount that you want to pick up/buy, but this doesn't appear any more; it only lets me take all the items at once...this is starting to get a bit of a pain when I want to buy, for instance, 1 piece of armour, and end up having to make do with 4 or nothing.

I've had a quick look in the warnings.txt file, but that doesn't show anything that might suggest this problem, and I wouldn't know where to look in the .ini that would have anything to do with this.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers,
Rich

Do you have the Morrowind Code Patch installed?
It changes the behavior to make things go quicker (for most people), but of course, you can uncheck that option if you prefer the original behavior.

The Code Patch has an option to change this, and you have that option turned on. Perhaps you should read what options you have used with the patch before playing.
This lets you grab an entire stack at once, so it's faster to sell lots of stuff.

Hold down "shift" and click the stack to bring up the slider bar, or hold down "ctrl" and click the stack to grab just one item.

Ah-ha! Yes I do have MCP, I've just check it and yep that does work....now that I know I'll probably keep it as is.

Oddly enough, I'd had a look at the options on MCP after I realised something was up, and I couldn't spot anything. Obviously I was just having a blind moment haha.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, it's handy.
The same option also lets you close books/conversation/containers with the spacebar... much faster than clicking "goodbye" or "close."
