v0.57.5 - Editor Menu Redraw Hotfix

Follow-up hotfix for v0.57.4. A Steam player reported the editor's arrow-key menu stacking down the screen instead of redrawing in place — every arrow press appended a fresh copy of the menu below the previous one, producing a "staircase" of Main Menu titles marching down the window.

The staircase bug

RunArrowMenu redraws by moving the cursor up N lines (relative ANSI CSI nA) and erasing below. The N counter is incremented once per AnsiConsole.MarkupLine call, under the assumption that one MarkupLine call = one visible terminal row.

That assumption holds until a rendered line exceeds the terminal width and wraps. Two places produced lines longer than 80 cols on the default WezTerm window:

  1. Title + hint crammed onto one line. The concatenation " Main Menu (arrows/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End, numbers, Enter picks, 0/Q/Esc back — showing 1-5/5)" ran to ~93 visible chars. WezTerm wrapped it to 2 rows; lineCount++ counted 1. Next redraw moved up 1 row too few, leaving one stale row behind. Stacked up after a few arrow presses.
  2. Long item labels. Rows like Player Saves — edit characters (stats, inventory, quests, companions, etc.) ran to ~85 chars after the cursor/number prefix. Same wrap-undercount.

Fix

  • Split the title + hint onto two short lines that individually fit in 80 cols. Title + counter (Main Menu (1-5/5)) on one line, key reference (arrows, numbers, Enter picks, 0/Q/Esc back) on another.
  • Truncate over-wide item labels at render time using Console.BufferWidth - 11 as the budget (the > NN prefix is ~9 visible chars plus a 2-col safety margin for the selected-row reverse-video padding). Labels longer than the budget get sliced with a … suffix so no row ever wraps.
  • Dropped the one Unicode bullet (•) from the hint line for plain ASCII commas. Not every bundled WezTerm font has that glyph, and a missing-glyph fallback can render double-wide and push the visible width past 80 even on an otherwise-short line.

Files Changed

  • Scripts/Core/GameConfig.cs — Version 0.57.5.
  • Scripts/Editor/EditorIO.cs — RunArrowMenu title/hint split onto separate lines with ASCII-only key reference. Item labels measured against Console.BufferWidth and truncated with … before rendering. Viewport-count now matches actual emitted rows 1:1 regardless of terminal width, so the relative-cursor redraw sequence lands cleanly every iteration.
