This has probably been addressed, but I couldn't find it. Running the game at my desktop resolution on Windows 7 (1920 x 1080) some of the text on the right hand pane disappears i.e. I can only see the top half of the letters, with no way to scroll down. Also, radio buttons on right side get cut off on right edge. Any suggestions?

Same here. Obviously a bug of some sort.

I can fix it by minimizing and then re-expanding the game window.

Sounds like you have have a more chronic problem than I had? Maybe post a screen shot and someone here can help...

If you have changed the Windows text size setting (in the control panel at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display) away from the default 100%, you an try to set it back and see if that helps.

I too also get the same problem, along with the text being clipped off on the right hand side. Minimising and re-expanding does not help either.

Hi zacklaws, we are aware of the clipping issues in 125% & 150% font sizes and we have made a lot of adjustments beginning with the beta Build 443. You will soon have an update available that includes these improvements. Give us a little more time. Thanks!

That's it! I had thought of this and actually reset it from 125%, but when my 56 year old eyes got a look at the small text I switched it back without testing Command (duh). Anyway, thank you kind Sir and to Mr. Sunburn, I know you guys will fix it so I'll just be patient. We've got a superb fan base on this forum; very knowledgable people.

As a Dev on Flashpoint I can say we have similar issues. Between these new super high res screens (2550x 1950) and the OS with set 125% sizes (like in Win8) and the fact we use a number of "windows standard" controls in the coding you get truncations or missing panels or lost screen area. It's kind of a mess.

I too have reset my system back to 100% and everythings perfect again, but I never changed it to 125% in the first place and wondered why all my icons had grown in size a few months back.
