Attack box width changes when mouse hovers over soldier

[GunChleoc]

When the mouse hovers over a soldier and the tooltip text is wider than the inner window, the window width changes.

We didn't notice before because the English text is really short.

Possible solutions:

– Make the window wider (12 soldiers wide should suffice)
– Use a multilinetextarea with a fixed size of two lines and automatic linebreaking
– Have 4 lines and put one attribute on each line
– Translations should use abbreviations like the english text

Which one do we want?

– Make the window wider (12 soldiers wide should suffice)

I would be OK with that, but it could break again with (future) translations that we haven't tested for.

– Use a multilinetextarea with a fixed size of two lines and automatic linebreaking

This is probably the best solution. Calculating the width from the soldier icons would suffice here and setting the MultilineEditbox to kNoScrolling will do the trick, no need to hard-code 2 lines. Translators can use   to avoid line breaks in the wrong places - we should add a translator's comment to give them a hint.

– Have 4 lines and put one attribute on each line

Also possible, but it would make the box use more vertical space than needed.

– Translations should use abbreviations like the english text

Impossible. My translation IS using abbreviations, and making it any shorter will make it completely unintelligible. Not all languages can be abbreviated as radically as English - I need at least 1 complete syllable ;)
