If you check line 24, this private variable is done so you don't have to put the localize ..... in every hint title when all hints have the same title.
It also works for all the other instances (this is used in 56 different files) so there must be a different reason.

Unfortunately, I don't have the intelligence to know why exactly, but this is what fixed it. My assumption is because the variable is nested inside an action and doesn't have access, because otherwise it should be fine

The fix is correct. The reason is that it's used in an addAction here, so it's accessed in a completely different scope from where the local variable is defined. Event handlers are similar.

This isn't the only case where pulling out _titleStr breaks. There's a similar issue in the towing code. Maybe others.

Could you please fix similar issues in the following files and give the PR a title change?
Thank you

Forcing me to do the most basic shit....
done and tested @Bob-Murphy

also worth noting that the controlling squads pop up is bugged anyway but I fixed the part I was supposed to and will look at the rest
