[bug] game crashes when adding map notes

agris

@Dee Excuse me if this is already known, but I didn't see it in the known issues thread or from scanning post topics.

Adding and attempting to scroll a multi-line map note should not crash the game
1. Start a new game (tested both tutorial, and a random saved game)
2. Open the map (tested world map and local)
3. Add a new map note. For the description, hit enter so that it is multiple lines. Note that a small scroll bar now appears to the right.
4. Attempt to interact with that scroll bar, and the game crashes.

I can provide crash dumps, but I'm pretty sure this is a standard memory exception / pointer out of bounds error and will be 100% reproducible.

This is on the current build, 1.0.2028 fyi.

@Dee (sorry for the bump)

Are there any objections to simply not allowing multi-line map notes?

agris

Nope, and based on the current positioning of the note text in the map view, I don't think you could fit two lines without adjust the text placement anyway.

Also, the scroll bar appears when just clicking in the new map note text field, not having typed anything. All you have to do is click ON the scroll bar (not the arrows) to crash the game.

Game should not crash when manipulating the scroll bar during Map Note creation

1. Start a new game with the Abdel pregen
2. Open the Map (M)
3. Right-click anywhere in the map to open the "Map Note" window
4. Click on the text field and type the following:
"THIS IS MY WHEELCHAIR
WITHOUT ME, IT IS USELESS
WITHOUT IT, I AM USELESS"
5. Click on the scrollbar that appears
6. Notice that the game crashes

The game should not crash. The scrollbar should allow you to scroll up and down in the text field.
