A little bug in message history.

Sometimes, when I open the message history window (the blue one coming from TTDPatch), two or four messages are split into one long message - the border between two messages is missing, and I cannot click on all of them. It can be repaired just by clicking on the window sizing button.

Example:

Code: Select all

+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Message history                                        |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 1st Jan  New company launched                          |
|                                                        |
| 2nd Feb  Town now accepts goods                        |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 25th Feb New factory under construction                |
|                                                        |
| 4th Mar  New vehicle available                         |
+--------------------------------------------------------+

and after pressing the resize button (dragging works too, but pressing is enough) is everything alright:

Code: Select all

+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Message history                                        |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 1st Jan  New company launched                          |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 2nd Feb  Town now accepts goods                        |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| 25th Feb New factory under construction                |

Can you make this reproducible with a savegame?

No. It can happen in any save and can not happen. I could not understand the rule, when it happens, so did not post it.

to be honest, i knew this bug existsed for quite some time already... It is caused by the fact only the size of the window is saved, and the number of items to be displayed isn't recalculated on savegame loading. It should be quite easy to fix.
