Display Bug above Select Vehicle (Racing Budget Setup)
Happy New Year Eric! Thanks for what you do.

If your Company name + your Car name + your trim name is too long, displayed car name in Racing Budget Setup window, in portion above "Select Vehicle" , is a (graceful?) mess.

Company name is "Atom Engines Co" . Safe car name + trim = "Sports s2". Overflowing car name (with that company name) is "Speedster v8s". So "1907 Atom Engines Co Speedster v8s" does not fit and UI attempts to display two lines in one creating a bit of a visual mess. No other negative effects observed.

Office -> Door -> Race Track -> Setup

Can supply screenshots and saved game; hopefully description suffices.

On suggested fix: truncation of overall string is easy but IMHO is not a great idea as many (I do) may build special racing trims, tweaked from year to year; thus, knowing the trim of the vehicle can be quite important. Perhaps, if overflow detected, truncating company name, adding ellipses and including year, car name and trim is best?

Could also get rid of "Selected" in "Selected Car" prefix but this might add confusion. ("Car used:") is shorter though still less clear but better than "Car"

Thanks for the kind words!

I've been spending most of the better part of the last 2 weeks fitting text into their receptive labels. Mostly for translations. This issue should already be fixed in v1.25.0.6. If I am not mistaken I increased the height and allowed for the font resizer to be applied to the text.

Cool Beans. Sounds better than my suggestions. Glad you're on it.

Correction, the label was lengthened and the auto-resizer applied. None the less it was addressed.

Let me know if you run into any else, although you probably should wait till v1.25.0.6. :)
