There is no line wrapping, so the bottom two lines remain empty and excess text is simply ignored. Similarly, long lines in the airfields file are truncated to about 40 characters. The display is 12 lines deep but is scrollable. I read these figures off the 5.2.4 PC simulator, so the line widths and the number of lines displayed are probably different on a PNA or PDA but the line wrapping and truncation behaviour will be the same. Is this the same for XCSoar 6.x?
