Text Run Off Still A Problem?

April 7, 2003 1:27 PM from

I am still experiencing text run-offs. When I checked out the history for shields, the text ran down below the box and I could not scroll.

Is this just my computer, do I not realize there is a simple solution, or is this still a problem? (I thought it had been fixed with 1.02...)

Thanks for any thoughts!

I've noticed a similar problem with the ship name on the ship info screen, FWIW.

It also happens when you look at module descriptions when adding to a starbase.

"I've noticed a similar problem with the ship name on the ship info screen, FWIW."

David has a good point. If I want to give an alien civ a ship, the display gets cut off with long ship names and I can't see the number of the ship easily, forcing me to double click on it to find out. If I want to give a STACK of ships, it turns into a real pain.

Can I suggest cutting off the "USS" part of the name of the ship for this area? It's a cheap fix and it won't work in all cases but it *will* free up 4 more spaces (the USS and a space), perhaps allowing us to see the number of the ship. Ideally though, you need to have the ship name reference another list with abbreviations (Star F., Constrct., etc) to make sure that ship number gets in there!
