If you mod a race in detail, giving them many possible boni and mali, including specific parts for every planet type, you get a problem.

At the point where you choose your race, the slider does not show all. It stops at OTHEr without going down. I am sure it wouldn't even reach "other" if I inserted more lines...

Elliot give this window more space!

This panel should grow to match its contents. So there's more likely a problem with the modded race files.

Feel free to upload your theme/mod for me to look at.

Thanks
Elliot

I tested making more boni and mali by changing some planet types to 1.1 instead of 1.0 to let the change be shown in the race choice window. Indeed I can't read "other" anymore. Now the window slide bar stops in the middle of the character boni of the race (e.g. Admiral appeareance chance etc.).

Elliot you have to consider my resolution. I play on 1024/768. The Slider has a limited range in this one... if it depends on this. I can't scroll down the whole way! That has nothing to do with the textfile.

You can have my race text file as of now - wasn't a full and ready mod anyway, I only test the limits - but as I see it, that is not the problem.

I checked this more carefully and found the cause of this issue
