NUI Appearance Editor Unusable on Low Resolution

Post by CountlessSkies »

Description of Bug Experienced:
I have a laptop with a 1366 x 768 screen resolution and a screen size of 15.6 inches.

The NUI window of the Appearance Editor is too large for my screen's vertical space. When opened, it is aligned to the bottom of the screen. The header bar is hidden, so I cannot drag it with the mouse, or close the window by clicking the X icon (see screenshot).

When opening the window modifier by using the -nui command (and hitting the button), the Appearance Editor is displayed as nui_armor_ed|armor_ed. Selecting this entry does not expose any options available for modification.

Typing -nui list exposes the Appearance Editor window as having the geometry,transparent,border options (see screenshot). I attempted, as an example, to set transparency on the window by typing -nui set nui_armor_ed|armor_ed transparent true, but this did not yield any visible result.

In this state, the appearance editor is entirely unusable for me, and I'm left having to use the legacy system with dialogues. I can confirm that the problem does not arise on a 1920 x 1080 display, as the NUI window can fit on the screen in its entirety.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
1) Switch NWN resolution to 1366 x 768 or lower. It is possible that the problem only shows up on a small screen.
2) Navigate: Rest Menu -> Appearance -> Modify Armour -> Open/Refresh Appearance Editor

Expected Result:
The editor is scaled to your resolution, or at least has a scrollbar, allowing you to see all the options, and move the window without a hassle.

Actual Result:
The editor is cut off, either hiding the header bar or the options at the bottom.
