Since today's update, my character sheet's Class/Pat/Destiny and Feat descriptions no longer wrap properly on the Character Sheet.  It was fine before the update.  I'm running the Character Builder on Windows 7 64 bit.  Anyone else notice this problem?

I reported the bug from the link in the Character Builder.  I'm just wondering if others are having the same issue.

You just have too many feats.

Can you make a level 1 character or delete 4 feats and see if it still happens?

Hi Mike.  Thanks for the reply.  I created a new level 1 character, and a new level 4 character.  Both displayed the feats and features correctly.  When I created a new level 24 character, the line wrap was again messed up.  So, it seems you are correct about the number of feats being the problem.

However, since my character is currently level 24, he has the required number of feats, so "delete a 4 feats" isn't really a viable answer.

I also verified the same problem on a different computer running Windows XP.  

Seems as if the update is indeed the culprit.  I hope you guys can rectify it as the descriptive text for the features/feats is important to have handy, especially at higher levels when there is more to remember.

Thanks,

Plus, your level has nothing to do with the class/path/destiny section not word wrapping.
There's plenty of room in that section.

I'm not at my builder to test this, but it's possible that the Character Builder wraps the text unless doing so exceeds the available space.  Any Epic character is probably exceeding the available space in both of these areas.  You could test this by unlocking the panels and making them larger.

According to my testing, You are correct.
If your column only has 10 lines, and you have feats with enough info to use 11, it will not wordwrap and instead put your 6 or 7 feats on a single line each.
Same with the Class/Path/Destiny section.
For the default character sheet, that means the dragon sorcerer at level 1 doesn't fit, and it means, that at around level 14 to 16, the feats don't fit.
I guess it's technically better then not printing a couple feats. But it probably should be said somewhere why it is doing what it's doing. Maybe in an option.

AND, as I have pointed out before, a dragged column only has 30 lines. I can make a level 30 cleric with 40 lines worth of feats.

Have you tried editing the text to shorten the ones that you don't need the text for?  I usually remove the text for feats with effects that show up on the power cards (Weapon Focus, for example).

I will make it so you can drag to 40 instead of 30, this should help.

Then it won't wrap since most characters don't have more than 19ish feats.

I hadn't, personally.
My highest character I've played is level 12.
But I was testing for the previous poster.

Editing the lines does indeed fix the problem.
Maybe adding that to a FAQ would be the way to go.

And thanks.
