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.

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

This was filed a while back - the issue is that there is a fixed ui box for the display of all those icons. Now you can move around the icons but the text is not moving, a publish or two back the spacing on the text increased (or just the top bit moved down, not entirely sure) so the text is now moving off the bottom and so you only see the top few pixels.

Yup I posted the same bug some time ago, reported it, filled out a ticket...still happening.

Picture is pretty big, scroll down to see broken line text for Cargo Hold contents.

That reminds me I had a similar problem, except it was because I tried to move that toolbar down the screen and the toolbar started to disappear at the same place the text box is being cut off in that picture.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but I moved the display all over the screen, tried to stretch it and bend it, nothing helped, even went through unrelated exercises like copying and pasting profile foldersto the desktop and crap like that that were recommended by the CSR who answered my ticket. It has nothing to do with my computer, it has to do with the program. Sure would be nice to have it fixed. I mean displaying the Cargo contents in % was screwy to begin with ( always wondered why it didn't just show actual units ), but I got used to it. If I needed 750 units and I have a 1550 unit capacity cargo hold, I just waited till i had about 49% and moved on. Can't evendo that anymore.

Same thing with me. I put that frackin' text box everywhere possible, still couldn't read the cargo line. Since we can't even see the contents in the datapad in space like we can on the ground, there is no way of knowing your remaining capacity at all.

As others pointed out, yep the text is clipped and I can't figure out any way to remedy it. Happens on all of my characters etc, so I assume it's that way for everyone. Thanks very much for looking into it, Thunderheart.

You might also want to look into this as far as the signs on houses go as well. Ever since the CU, names of houses have been getting clipped just like those shown in the above UI shot. For example, my shop has 4 vendors listed on the sign as separate lines, however, only the name of the shop (first line) and my shop name (second line) are fully visible. The third line is clipped in half and the other lines can't be seen. Also, the sign also has the distance above it which may or may not be part of the problem.
