Hello Alex
I think i found another bug.

If you open for example the fuel map, and you maximize it, you don't have a button to bring it back to a small window :) Also, if you've maximized your window, and you go to graph view, there is no way to go back to the grid view

Another thing that i think that would be an improvement is you don't have to go with the mouse to the menu to change the axis values/numbers, but just use a simple axis setup window, which you can enter with a simple press on a shortcut key

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not

But I've just downloaded the latest version of the beta, when i first load up i don't get the option to work off like ( like the old one)

It loads the main display, but wont allow me to select or change the serial port as it keeps telling me it cant' connect to a ecu , the only option I have is exit which closes the software down

No issues with regards to that here. It opens and works fine offline, with the usual warnings about serial port etc of course.

It's there, but for some reason on the top left. No idea why, but I'll fix it.

Still a few cropping issues with text ( I have not changed my PC config at all, as I'm happy with how it is and do not want to change it. Besides....the on screen text is a normal size anyway ? )

So still various text cropped or missing on the menus.

The "Current ecu Map" or Current Map" text in green also seems to be in the wrong place on a few of the menu windows.

Just browsing through..I opened the twin injector table....this doesnt appear to re-size correctly..ie a lot of the table is out of view and stays out of view even when making the window bigger. And again, text in the menu window cropper or overlapping.
Boost base duty also has same behaviour

Using Traction menu as an example...lots of cropping etc here

Short video showing some of my other issues, unlisted video. Also just noticing, sensor scaling tables are not numbered down the left side, 1-20 as normal ? Not really an issue as such I guess.

All the cropping issues are caused by you having a setting set to increase the text size. This means the text simply cannot fit in to the allocated space.

To test this, do the following:
Right click on your desktop, and click Screen Resolution
Click the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" hyperlink.
You will have a value larger than the default value. Choose the default value.

You will then have to log off and back on.

The sensor scaling doesn't have the 1-20 values down the side in th eold software, so I didn't put them in again.
