Small Cosmetic Issue

[Imagix]

If you open the Settings/Options window, it appears that the "Message of the Day" window title is clipped in along the bottom of the window. Kinda like the Motd window is right below the Options window, and the Options window is drawing a little bit too low.

Oh.. second usability issue: the chat window has a "/version" command, but the most important version number, that of FGU itself, isn't shown. One must back out to the Launcher screen to see it.

What ruleset are you using? Are you using a theme? Are you using any UI scaling?

5ed, no theme, no extensions. Now, trying with 5ed and the D&D Official theme shows correctly (I think). So to revise what I'm seeing, It is as if the Message of the Day button is being shoved half-way off the bottom of the Options window.

Created a new, blank 5ed campaign and the same issue exists. I do have extensions that exist, but none are loaded.

I don't see this - see screenshot below.

Are you using any GUI scaling?

UI scaling at 100.

I'm not seeing this either. You might want to check that you don't have any unpacked rulesets in your rulesets folder. If not probably worth deleting the CoreRPG.pak and 5e.pak files and updating.

What operating system are you using?

[Imagix]

Windows 10.

Zacchaeus: Good call. I did have 5E expanded in my rulesets (was looking into it to reference while I was fiddling with writing an extension). Deleted my expanded 5E ruleset and the problem has gone away.

Problem Solved. Thank-you.

Edit: Perhaps a notation somewhere might be useful if the downloaded .pak file is newer than an expanded version?

The best thing to do is don't expand rulesets in the ruleset directory - expand them somewhere else and reference them there.

You can always check the version in the chat window and compare that with the latest version number in the patch notes.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have expanded it in there. I wasn't planning on changing 5e itself, I was only using it to look into them.

For the notation thing: I was vaguely thinking of perhaps a "rulesets" list in the launcher window (or a button), and it could mark a ruleset with a red dot or something if the "standard" ruleset is newer than the "local" version (and I'm thinking file date stamps and not any embedded version number. An embedded version number would probably work too.). Manually checking the version numbers is probably too manual. But to be fair, this is probably an edge case and would only be useful to a small number of people. Might be useful to the handful of people that work on the rulesets. (Then again, might not. Since I don't work on them, I may be randomly speculating.)
