There also appears to be some scaling issues with the console history widget.

EDIT: Correction; one cannot resize it vertically in Ring Zero for some reason.

  • Subject changed from Ring Zero UI screwed up when window is too small to Ring Zero UI, game selection widget items scaled incorrectly

In fact the scaling issues occur at various window sizes, see the attached screenshots.

I'll add to this and say that if one is running Dday in an odd shaped window size, that the loading wheel during engine startup changes between two sizes repeatedly.

This is not a bug as such, as this behavior is completely intentional. The real issue is lack of responsivity in the layout and/or style. The UI framework doesn't support dynamic styles yet, so the font sizes are static. However, it should be quite trivial to reduce the number of columns in the game selection menu if the view is very small (basic responsive layout).

Another direction to go would be to scale the contents of each button smaller if their content is about to overflow, however that easily leads to different text sizes in the buttons of the menu as the content size is different in each button (i.e., ugliness).

Yeah this is a known issue with the label content layout at the moment.
