Problem Description

In a recent mobile game, when selecting a unit for upgrade, there was too much text on the box that popped up, and I couldn't select the "upgrade all" button because it was off the screen. In situations like this where there's lots of text, it would be nice to have a way of scrolling over the pop-up box in order to see all the text and all the options.

Desired Solution

Some kind of scroll bar on the side would be ideal.

Alternative Approaches

If a scroll bar isn't possible, then widening the box might be nice in cases where there's too much text.

If a scroll bad isn't possible,

An evil scroll? Or do you mean a scroll bath?

[SpacedOutChicken]

I mean a scroll bar. Sorry for the typo. I'll try to get you that saved game soon.

Here's a saved game with two Helicopter units ready to upgrade.

The issue may only appear on mobile, due to the small screen.

a scroll bar

Because scrolls are consumables to wizards and mages, they're served in a bar too? 🤪

Says "nation New Africa not found". Or mod versions... Yes, newer DeRx. Pity my initial steps to get Mod versioning in were rejected...

... if I improve the Widget AnimatedMenuPopup to handle this, then
a) Buttons and all will be included in the scrolling part
b) No contol over the width
... on the other side, treating each 'client' individually would be a lot more effort. Or, revisit concepts and see why I did not reuse the existing services of Popup for that - I think because I couldn't get the free positioning /animate-in-out ideas to work.

Nah, such things can easily be tested on desktop - free resizing, and the "display size" settings are always relative.
