Make message expiration time configurable

[dschwen]

In the new UI mode message that appear in the top left box (when issuing commands like Look or Use) disappear way too fast. The timeout for them should be a config option (maybe the last messages should be made sticky).

Good point. I'll look at adding some more config options around the message box. The auto scrolling is a bit jarring at times.

It is also visible when you talk to an NPC which doesn't look nice when it retracts behind the converse gump.

Which class handles that message box? I was a bit lost in the code. It is not the Console object, right?

Looks like it is the MsgScroll or MsgScrollNewUI class.

Yes the MsgScrollNewUI class handles the message box. It extends the MsgScroll class. MsgScroll formatting is quite fragile unfortunately. :(
It needs to handle the explicit and implicit page breaks from the original game. Along with some other formatting.
