The Dragon updates are behind because of that delay a few months ago.

I haven't checked this yet.  Is either option available?  If not, which is it?

Er, kinda.  The only additional delay is the 2 week delay for the holidays.  The rest of the delay has always been there.  Wait for the compiliation, then 1 month for data entry, and then it will be in the next released version of the tools.  So December's Dragon content will be compiled at the end of December, put into the various DBs in January, and released in early (assuming they get back on track as promised) February.

November's Dragon content will be put into the DBs in December, and released in mid January.

There are multiple options available for where the flavor text is displayed, use the drop down menu to choose.

Ever since this update installed, the text in my Class / Path / Destiny Features box won't wrap on one of my characters.  All Features listed are limited to one line.  If the description of that feature is longer than one line, it cuts off.  I've checked all the options in the pull-down menus and they all match other characters whose C/P/D Features still wrap properly.  I've even tried re-creating the character from scratch!  Any advise?

Hi EZ Writer,

You'll need to unlock and enlarge that box to be able to see all the text now.
