Message Log Formatting

Post by LoftyPoacher »

I have my message log windowed and displayed on a second monitor. In this condition, all paragraph formatting disappears. This isn't a problem on most one-line messages, but large blocks of text become extremely difficult to follow. Is there a fix for this?

Hi,

Can you post a screenshot and save? This would help us see and investigate the issue much faster. Thanks.

Dimitris,

I've noticed the same thing on a second monitor. Here are screen captures of messages:

1. As it appears in a pop-up message window.
2. As it appears on a second screen (message log in second window = ON).
3. As it appears on the main screen (message log in second window = OFF).

Hope this helps.

Also, FWIW, I seem to recall a time, (probably v1.11 or earlier), where the 2nd monitor messages retained the format of the original message.

Apparently not fixed in 1.14 build 998.10. See attached screen shots of the same messages in a log window [lower image] vs display on the tactical map [upper image]. I didn't upload a scenario since this is taken from the open state of the sub tutorial 1.1 that ships with the game, although if it will help I'll be glad to.
