Truncated text in Logistic Logs 1.03b10

Post by ydmatrix2 »

The additional text added to logistic logs causes the line to extend beyond the window size - and there's no scrolling possible, meaning the text is truncated. Specifically, the text noting the direction (south, north, etc.) of the traffic is lost, which is important information.

Possible solutions could be increasing the window size, line wrapping or allowing horizontal scrolling to view the whole text.

A more minor feedback is I'm not sure of the benefit of the "terminates there" message on the hex-before-last in the logistic logs.

Visually, it's very similar to "terminates here" text, so needs careful reading to distinguish, and I'm not sure it's as valuable an information.
