Summary0005805: Graphical issues in the dialogs with settlers.
DescriptionThis is probably best explained with the screenshots. See that stray green "e" after Alik Kowalchik's name? That one comes from the Hearth Guardian Stone. I'll also upload the world, but that specific problem disappeared after reloading the world.

In the second screenshot, part of the dialog of Vladik Gluba is smudged, as if the letters were pushed too close to eachother.

Apparently it extends beyond the settlers. See new screenshot.

I've seen this too, but never got around to taking the necessary screenshots.

I've also seen this, in a variety of circumstances, but don't have a way to repro it reliably, and I don't know what's causing it. So for the moment I'm just leaving it, unless someone has a case where they can cause it reliably.

See my world (Assyria) and the three screenshots I've attached.

The Intrepid Seamus Cavell is standing one tile north of (2,6) "Corybells Hills", an Ice Age region.

 * Initially, the name is displayed correctly (as seen in the first screenshot). Also, viewing the details of "Reffefax" ((3,4), northeast of Seamus' position) resets the display to this correct value.
* Viewing the details of "Dark Junkyard" ((2,5), the tile Seamus is standing on) seems to overlay the "k" character on the first "s" in "Corybells Hills" when it is next viewed, as seen in the second screenshot.
* Viewing the details for "Obnoxious Forest" ((0,8), southeast of the former overlord's fortress) overlays the "s" on the "H" in "Corybells Hills", as per the third screenshot.
* Various other things that display dialogs (such as bringing up the game menu or looking at some of the other region details) can mangle the "Corybells Hills" text in various ways, but all between the first "s" and the middle of "Hills".

I can repeat this by loading the world and looking at the various descriptions mentioned above, and there are some other region names that display similar mangling ("Zyrnyss Snowfield", "Barflys Expanse" that I can see nearby), always near a space between two words.

If you go to the settlement on the second continent in my world (Assyria), the area (31,16) is called "Ravenlias Grassland". Walking one tile north of the settlement to "Useless Snowfield" and back shows a similar text overlay in the region description box on the bottom left of the screen. The tiles around "Finmuts Snowfield" at (31,8) mangle the text in a variety of exciting ways, and the apparent draw ordering (which I'll upload in a screenshot shortly) might be helpful in debugging.

I haven't seen this recently (in fact, I forgot about this issue completely), and I think I recall something regarding text in the changelog some time ago. Resolved?

I never did anything to fix this, and it was rare to begin with. However, it's possible that a secondary change I made with text fixed this inadvertently. If nobody has seen this in a really long time then it might well be fixed, but then again perhaps we're just not doing the exact right steps to trigger it, etc.

Oh, wait! Actually, this was based on invalid characters in the name, and I DID fix that a while back. There were multiple reports of the issue, though, and I just didn't notice to mark this one as complete.

Confirmed. The text that was being mangled now has underscores where the manglement used to happen, which seem to be replacing broken apostrophes.

Awesome -- yep, that's what it does now.
