What?
Item descriptions for (some?) items do not linewrap.

My mod quickprint adds a new blueprint prototype with a longish description:

⇒ I can "fix" this by adding some manual linebreaks...

Code: Select all

[item-description]
er-quickprint=Blueprint that automatically resets itself after use.\nCan be customized with mod settings.\nPress __CONTROL__er-quickprint:copy-to-blueprint__ while holding it to get a standard blueprint copy.

⇒ But vanilla items seem to automatically linebreak...

I'm going to guess that this is specific to blueprint items, because blueprint tooltips may need extremely large widths to hold the preview image.

Correct. In order to line-wrap there needs to be some "max width after which text is line-wrapped" and because the blueprint tooltip max width is the screen width it doesn't wrap.

Would it be possible to diffrenciate between an empty and a setup blueprint? (Assuming that detecting the actual length of a setup blueprint before setting the size won't happen?)
