Yes, this is a pest of a problem to (what would otherwise be) a very handy feature...

I do hope this could get cleaned up some time soon!

Note that the text describing the status of the cargo hold is impossible to read as it is cut off. I can't find any way to fix this. Is there a method I'm missing, or is this a bug? I can't resize, moving things around didn't help.

I looked at the screen shot and I'm not quite sure what's happening, but I sent the information in to be looked at.

Thanks for the post

Looks like clipped text box to me. Similar issue that was happening when text was changed when the Japanese font was added. Could be a result of the recent addition of the new Japanese font?

Good catch Drashk - I'll send the info along!






TH, the same thing is happening ony one of my accounts with the Group bar, it cuts off in the middle of the distance indicator of how far my groupies are away from me aswell as the arrow is not visibile at all, while on my other account everything works fine. Strange, coz they run on the same install.../shrug

And since this thread is getting some attention, how about fixing the Y-8 mining ship quest too? The escort mission is still not spawing in Kashyyyk space.

Problem is, TH, I think the problem is UI related, not specifically a JTL issue. It's happening with everyone, and it's just the Cargo Hold area that is having issues.

And I still say, is it just me, or did they increase the spacing between those buttons. If so, that might be the problem. Put in a larger font for the popups and didnt increase the Y size of the display box (and not letting us manually increase the size to compensate)

There is a work around for the JTL UI display bug!

If you move your mouse over the flytext buttons, the mouse will turn into a cross. If you move it to where the flytext appears, the mouse stays a pointer. For some unknown reason, if you try to move it with the cross, your not moving the window BUT THE BUTTONS INSIDE THE WINDOW. If you hold down the left mouse button while the its over where the flytext would appear, you move the window itself.

And here



Hope this helps!

HimFan Can youget a sceeenshot of the Cargo Hold after you do that to show the whole line exposed?

I'm still having problems. Attached another screenshot, a closeup of the display. I tried all the stuff you mentioned and there's just no way that I can make that line visible. What I took a snapshot of is the insert on that whole screen but you don't see the boundinglines because it has no opacity and allows the background to show through. It seems to me like simply enlarging the bottom boundry of that box would fix the problem, very much like typing inside of a text box, if the lines are cut off, you either make the fonts smaller or the text box larger so it all fits.


Edited to include the link to the snaphot.

All you have to do is move your mouse around on the HUD display until it turns into a cross (in the middle of buttons). Now just hold down the left mouse and slide it up. Worked for me :/.

Yeah, you can move the whole window around, but that window cannot be resized to an increased size. That right there is the problem. If we could resize it vertically, then we could adjust for the display error.

Moving the window around doesn't solve the problem, but is good info for those that don't like it where it is.

Yeah but it moves the whole display but doesn't resize or move what's inside, at least not for me.

no it is not just because of the new font. i had this a long time ago before the new font. i had it back at the end of july when i first tried mining. those icons are in a square that cannot be resized or moved, yet you can move the icons within the box.


TH, someone needs to go over all of the UI and fix all the problems. my way point monitor has been off my screen for nearly a month. every time i activated and deactivated a waypoint it would move, now it is off the screen. i even tried a UI reset but that didnt work.


please have someone fix the entire UI and make it save the settings again. i have given up modifying anything because of the state of the UI.

So much for a Smuggler revamp, maybe they should just rename us, it would take less time and be easy to do.
"Useless" would be my first choice as a name suggestion.


of course at this point there is no reason to revamp anything. SOE should just shut the game off.
