Flipping text
« on: November 14, 2010, 02:27:09 am »

I seem to have pressed something that makes menu text appear along the top of the screen instead of the bottom. How do I switch it back?

This is why we can't have nice things... someone will just wind up filling it with corpses.

The text does this so it doesn't get in the way of your sprite so you know if your next move is either into grass or into a grizzly bear.

It isn't in my way down there, and its covering up my map.

It does that to me whenever the screen is off-center from me due to me doing long-distance throwing.  I hope Toady adds a replacement for shift-C "center on screen" soon.

Have you resized your window or gone fullscreen? I've found that those things cause my "look" text to appear at the top of the screen rather than the bottom, so maybe it might mess with other things sometimes? Just a thought.

'Flipping text' is also my reaction when it does this almost word-for-word. Makes it harder to see those darn letters and strike where you weren't aiming at.
