Dialog Buttons - Cutting Text Off Not On Issue List

With this last update, all dialog buttons in the game changed the number of characters they display. This has caused buttons that used to say "Reset" to say "Rese" or "Update" to say "Updat".

The buttons really didn't hold that much to begin with, and people often resorted to pseudo-abbreviations, which now make no sense at all because the last 2-3 letters can be cut of of some of them.

It's not on the issue list, though I know several people who have reported it. From a content creator's standpoint, this is a bug not a feature or an acceptable side-effect of the resizable UI. It is another example of new features breaking things that worked previously and didn't need changed.

Aaron, I've *heard* of this but haven't seen it for myself yet. My UI is unscaled, but in any case, I would gladly scale it to find out more about this. Please email me (torley@lindenlab.com) with the bug report # and screenshots if you have them. With it being a Resident Experience issue, I'll jump on it ASAP.
