ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

The wrapper div for the reply options in the comms panel does not expand to fill the height of the window. This causes only a few options to be displayed at a time and requires the player to scroll through them manually to find the one they are looking for.

The issue is persistent with the in-game and pop-out versions of the window.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

I do not use any community mods or add-ons.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time.

  2. Expand the comms panel to be as tall as you’d like.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. can confirm. This gets very annoying. There definitely should be a “jump to last message” instruction here.

Not just the log, but the selection window, too: there’s space only for 4 items, while there are up to 10 in the menu.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, when popping the ATC window to a second monitor, scrolling and selecting between options becomes very difficult because size can’t adapt to contents - it like some are hidden and can’t be accessed by scrolling gf- especially those at the end of each screen.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
•
For example if I there are say 7 options to choose from and the first three are displayed, trying to move to the next skips one - the 4th - and I see only 5 and 6.

Why has this not been fixed yet? This is one of the most annoying bugs and I would imagine it should be pretty simple to fix, as it worked perfectly in 2020. In the SU2 beta, they somehow made it even worse by chopping off two of the remaining lines that we did have. And sometimes none are visible.

Scrolling is not the issue from my point of view, but the fact that the selection window is so small, that on Xbox only 1.5 selections can be seen at a time, even if the ATC window is expanded downwards. Also sometimes, it’s impossible to activate a selection, no matter how much I try to click on it…

This needs to be sorted ASAP as it’s probably one of the core systems of the sim, and console users don’t have the luxury of just using external addons and apps
