Summary0021679: Menu text boxes are not nearly wide enough and unreadable in some cases
DescriptionAs per the title, some menu boxes are not nearly wide enough to read, causing the text to go far off screen and be unreadable. The text that does remain on screen is very difficult to read.

See attached screenshots for some examples. Not all text boxes are affected, such as hovering over a ship in the main view.

This on the Linux steam build with a 2160x1440 resolution in windowed mode.
TagsNo tags attached.

I set my linux build to the same screen resolution and I can't reproduce any of this. Bizarre.

That's 100% a bug. I'm not sure why this would be happening on your machine but apparently not others. You might try validating your steam install (right-click game in steam and then under properties). I'm wondering if something got downloaded wrong.

Beyond that, I would guess some sort of funky thing based on your specific distro maybe, but honestly that code is all managed non-OS-specific code so it should "just work" I would think.

I changed the "General Tooltip Scale" option and it resolved it. I tried setting it back to the previous setting to reproduce, but was unable to. Everything is displaying properly now.

I hadn't opened the game since December of 2018, so maybe it was an old config file that wasn't updated.

Huh! Okay, that might be the case, yes, that it was old settings. Hopefully nobody else runs into that, or we can figure out how to make it not bother them if it does. Thanks for letting us know what the fix was!
