Message list proposal

[bayo]

Hello.

We have problem with the message list of the geoscape. I think the main problem is we can't(we dont) know the real number of line use into the list (if we do it, the message list is too slow).

Here a little proposal to streach big lines. Instead of using more than one line for a log we scale the text width. Number of messages = number of lines. While a message is no more than 1 line and a half (without streaching) i think the message list will be readable. Any body know if we can have bigger message (2 or 3 lines)?

Another question; How many messages can we have on the message list? Is there a limit?

At first try to use chinese, or other complex scripts.
I don`t want to have this, it looks ugly.

And yes, there can be long messages in russian localisation.

what do you mean about complex? chinese need less characters per word.

Depends on the word.

Complex means "more lines and details per symbol".
Yes, chinese is more condenced than english. But for example ciryllic letters are about 1.5 times wider than english.
