Can you give an example spell that you have trouble viewing, and what you see?

Can you please also confirm that your override folder is empty?

I suspect it's due to the script/GUI mod that's in the haks, which keeps the challenge rating hidden in creature examine screens. Normally the descriptions of items, placeables, etc get "padded" with whitespace so no text is lost in the process, but spell descriptions may have been overlooked by the developer of the system (Heed of Heed's PC tools fame).

Generally, it's only the name of the spell that is hidden by this, and that's plainly enough visible in the title of the box. Is there somewhere it's causing a problem particularly? I could look into trying to add spell descriptions to the padding lists, but I'm not sure offhand how that could be accomplished.

Unsure of the cause, but 30 min later the spell was fully visable again. It was like when you frst open the screen, and the description quickly changes, I dont think that was happening, It may have been lag related, cause when it was hapening it was happening to all spells.

Sorry for any undue concern.
