Post subject:  Some descriptions are truncated

There is no scroll bar on the description box in trade bay. Long lists get truncated.

While there is a scroll bar on the description box in item thumbnails, certain words get truncated randomly. For example, the Ares Black Stallions Blueprint does not clearly state whether it's 1 or 2 Charging Ares War Horses that are required: the "2" is cut off somehow.

Furthermore, certain items are overflowing with flavor text and leave only one line of text for the description box. Look at Armada Lifestream Blueprint for example.

The solution:
1. Add a scroll bar to trade bay description boxes.
2. Fix the newline code in thumbnails to stop missing important words.
3. Make the scroll bar on thumbnails affect the whole thing, not just the description box.
4. Hmm... get rid of the thumbnails all together! As Jeff remarked, they are a huge pain and always seem to pop up in the wrong place at the worst time. Scrap the "smart" placement code and have them remember where you last put them. If I drag one to the right side of my screen, I want them to appear starting there and in the space directly below if I have more than one open.

Yes items with single numbers in the description have them sometimes blocked by the scrollbar which is annoying :-/

Or just allow the entire interface to be user customizable, where you can drag and re-size everything just the way you like it. And intern allows us to make it bigger for items that require a larger description.

I had this issue, thought a build was 20m mets, turns out it cut off the last 0 and it was actually 200m mets. That mind screwed me a bit.

Haha. For me it was almost equipping an Oly BP and then realizing that I was missing half of the items it required...
