Action Groups text is cut-off.


Recommended Posts

How am I supposed to know what things are if the Action Groups text is cut-off with an ellipsis and there is no hover text? This is stupid. The Action Groups are already confusing enough for new players, why hide text without providing hover text? Or, better yet, let me resize the width of the 3 columns. As of now, they barely use 25% of the width.

So, what is the missing text in the "Toggle/Enable/Disable Same Vehicle Int..." entries that seem to be on every part?

Or the "Toggle Independent Th..." entry on airplane engines?\

How am I supposed to figure this out? Do they really expect me to just know? Or guess? Or post on here every time? Terrible design.

"Same vehicle interaction" and "Independent Thrust"

Yah, it's a function of UI scaling and so forth.  (And it could potentially be even worse, depending on which language your KSP is in-- some languages are more "verbose" than others, and need more screen real estate to convey the same message.)

Would be nice if they had a hover tooltip or something, so that if it's cut-off on your screen, you could hover over it to see the full text.  Seems like more of a missing feature than a poor design, to me.

Maybe post a suggestion in the suggestions forum about it?  :)
