Scrolling terminology/settings are mixed up
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:17:44 UTC
The scrolling terminology and/or the settings are a little mixed up. The terms appear as follows for the three scrolling options under Player Settings > Display: Single Line Scroll Rate/Pause/Pixels: Double-Size Scroll Rate/Pause/Pixels: "Double-Size" _is_ single line. The information text, on the other hand, uses the wording "single-line" and "double-line" in its explanation. __BUT__ The actual use of the options appears to be: Single Line is used for multi-line font scrolling Double-Size is used for single line font scrolling That makes the information text for Scroll Rate wrong when it says "0.15 seconds is the default for single-line, 0.1 seconds for double-line". It's actually 0.15 seconds for double-line (displayed on top) and 0.1 for single-line (the bottom setting). Considering that there's also a "Threeline" font that uses the single line scrolling prefs, I'd suggest the following terminology for the same two settings in the same order as they appear now on the settings page: Multi-line Scroll Rate/Pause/Pixels: Single Line Scroll Rate/Pause/Pixels:

I agree with your suggestions for what its worth, makes sense to me...
great, so all that's left is to know if this is something for 7.1, 7.0.2 or just 7.2 given that it needs new localisations from the translation group.
KDF, please check in to 7.1 and QA will have a look at it, on the next daily build.

I just tested this. The terminology is fine, but the settings appear (in my mind) backwards. "Single Line" settings appear to affect multi-line displays and vice versa. I guess it lies with the logical interpretation of "single line" and "multi line" (formerly "double-size"). Does it refer to the font size, with "single line" meaning any of the smaller fonts that fit on a single line and with multi-line (double size) meaning a font using more than one line of the display? Or does it mean the display itself, with single line meaning a display with a large, single line of text and multi-line meaning all the other display modes? To my thinking, it's easier to think in terms of the number of text lines on the display.
How about: Scroll Rate Large Text Scroll Rate
large text, change 20520
and change 20521
