A suggestion for the completion list window.

from Stardock Forums
I am not sure what to call this window but it is in the bottom right of the main window and
contains a list of the completions for the current turn.

Also, I think someone had been asking for suggestions for it but I can't find the thread in
in the last 5 days of this forum (and no search function as yet).

One thing I find awkward is that there are only two entries shown when there is room for more.
The spacing is just too much on my screen (1280*1024). Also, the text is longer than the
space allows for and is not wrapped. A word wrap might work if it is only single spaced. Either
that or a horizontal scroll bar might be nice.

Another thing that I find awkward is that it is not intuitive when the entire list is shown or
when there are more completions to view. An effective technique for this is not showing the
vertical scroll bar when the complete list is displayed and showing the vertical scroll bar
when a partial list is shown.

Cheers,
Jack

The Event list. I am working on the word wrap. With the new format, you should be able to see a third entry on the screen.

Another thing I find annoying with the event list. After displaying a list of events and leaving the scroll tab at
the bottom the program does not reset the tab to the top on subsequent turns. Very confusing.

Thanks,

Don't worry it won't be confusing.

That is odd...I'll make sure that the new format resets the tab position.
