I have to say that I am very disappointed with the decision to proceed with this patch. Detailed comments were simply ignored I will definitely not continue to work on this project if this carries on.

Can we mitigate this? Now that we have a new RB we gained more time to fix things better.

Too big buttons

  • Reset option
  • ScenarioEditor
  • Unsaved options
  • Multiplayer lobby (create new account / login)
  • Basically any small popup? Hopefully one change for all?

Mod loader seems unaffected. Actually it doesn't even seem to work there ?

That's an oversimplification of what happened though.

@Langbart I am sorry, but don't think I understand.
I agree with you comments on the patch ( didn't ignore your comments on purpose/ thought I addressed them by replying on the diff that this should be done ), the only problem is that I have no time to do it the way you described right now and so the question for me was: rather have inconsistent button sizes or overlapping text for the next release.
Maybe I misunderstood your comments/ didn't wait long enough in case you wanted to comment again, but given these two options, would you rather have overlapping text ?

@Stan sure, easiest thing is to just revert this.
The only problem is that it takes time to do all the points @Langbart mentioned and to go through all the buttons and make sure nothing overlaps / everything is correct.
