Dear Future Ben,

ui.List renders all elements inside the list (currently just instances of ui.Textbox but there's no reason they couldn't be other things) that are even partially visible inside the list's designated area. This means that at the top and bottom of the list, multi-line elements that should only be partially be visible render all their lines, spilling over the edge.

To fix: need to think of some way of partially rendering a textbox, and call it here:

This is where it decides whether an element is visible. Not hard to filter out partially visible ones and invoke the special ui.Textbox.RenderPartial() or whatever.

Sincerely,

Lazy Past Ben

PS. Sorry for not doing this properly when I fanagled all this together in the first place. I would have done it but I was making a space ship game and wanted to get to the fun part.

This is an easy one. There's still archaic horrible word wrapping code in dm_log when all of that stuff is already implemented nicely(ish) in ui.List.

Probably needs to work on BeOS.

Dear Future Ben,

Delvemode, and all the other modes, should really start using the ui event stream setup that you set up for modes.chargenmode. All modes should be, as much as possible, emitting UI events on input and consuming them in mode.Update(), instead of the weird monstrosity you have going on in delvemode.

I know it doesn't seem like it's worth the effort now, but it probably will be good once things really start getting crazy (like when mouse support is added).

Sincerely,

Past Ben
