    Mode: Survival
    Mode: Singleplayer

    SERVER NAME: NA
    SEED-ID: Any

    If applicable:
    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Both

    Reproducibility: Always
    Severity: Major (important planet info can be on the description IE hazards, restrictions, etc).

    Type: Galaxy Map

    Summary: In the galaxy map, you cannot view the full planet description.

    Description: In the galaxy map, you can't scroll in the planet description window because as soon as your mouse cursor leaves the planet, the info pane changes to the orbit.
    This cuts off planet descriptions with no way to read the full description without entering the planet's playfield. This can hide important info on the planet a player might need to know before they enter it, such as various warnings on hazards or storyline elements.

    Steps to Reproduce: Attempt to view planet descriptions on the galaxy map that have long descriptions (lava is a good example).

    Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links:

    No way to view full description of lava planet without entering the planet's playfield, for example:

    I would not call that a bug. rather Fog of War. One have to explore a system before knowing its Planets. Don't you agree?
    If you know them all from visiting and still can't get the full Listing -> that would I consider to be a Bug.;)

    No it's definitely a bug, there is a scroll bar on the description window but it's unusable.
