Text going off the bottom of the selection box

Post by Scrove »

When you select a unit, say a ship/starbase and it has extra features, starfighters and such, sometimes text gets shoved out the bottom of the box you can view things in and as far as I know you can't scroll it to look at what is being cut off. Is there anyway to scroll it or resize it? As you can see my resupply ship has enough information that it does that.

Has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, thanks for the effort though.

He is talking about the ship information box on the lower left hand corner. Too many special modules (boarding, etc) can cause the text to sometimes be graphically truncated.
Look to the stars... maybe we can conquer them too?

Quite a few windows has this issue tbf, I think some of the windows themselves needs increasing in size to allow space for this new information that is in the game
And on other windows the text needs to be wrapped (ones where text goes off to the side)

In the few cases that this has happened to me I use the expand button to see the details (the two red arrows on the top right corner.)
