Display bug

[Thrydmon]

Hey, Colen.

I figured out what was wrong with the Environmental Control issue I noticed before. It's not really with Environmental Control, it's with the display window for the power. When Environmental Control is pulled up as a primary power, the combo box (drop down box to those who don't do computer programming) is able to open up and show all the options. When Environmental Control is chosen as an alternate power, the display window for the alt power is shorter from top to bottom. This causes the bottom part of the drop down list to cut off. And because the window can't be resized, the last one or two choices are unselectable. This could easily be solved a few ways: make the window resizable or make the combo box not drop below the bottom line of the window.

As a side note, I noticed that the combo box has an "invisible" scroll bar that cuts off part of the text on the longer worded choices.

And just in case this doesn't happen to other people, I'm testing this on a Vista Home Premium box with an Nvidia GeForce 8500GT.

Oooh! That makes sense. You're right, it only happens when you choose it
as an alternate power.

Thanks for the note on this - I'll get it fixed for the next release.

Unfortunately that is how our combo boxes work. I've put a note on
the to-do list to see if we can take care of it, but I suspect it'll be
a lot of work to change.


Sorry for the inconvenience,
