[kovarex] [1.1.0] Tips and Tricks text not visible at certain window widths

Steps to reproduce:
* Open Factorio in windowed mode so that I can resize the window
* Open the Tips and Tricks window
* Go to the "Inserters" topic
* If the window is wide enough, see the text looks fine
* Shrink the width of the window until there is not quite enough room for a text line to be on one line, see that the description text is invisible
* Make the window unreasonably narrow, see that there is a scrollbar and the description text is visible again

Notes: using English, Factorio 1.1.0, Windows, Automatic (75%) UI scale. The "Inserters" text disappears when the application window is about 960 pixels wide, "Fast replace" happens around 985 pixels wide.

Whatever the minimum the application size, it seems odd that text would be visible at large and tiny sizes, but not at a wide range of medium sizes.

The UI of Factorio assumes you have at least 1080 pixel wide window/screen, iirc. If you have less then that, weird things are known to happen.

Hello, thx for the report. The UI has indeed the minimum of 1080p for 100%, but we still try to make it work reasonable when squashed horizontally or vertically when possible, and the text completely disappearing when it can easily just wrap was clearly an error, so it is fixed for the next release.
