More lines or scroll bar for tutorial instructions

I have just finished translating into Scots Gaelic and for some of the explanations in the Very Basic Tutorial, I need 3 more lines to make it fit above the button. Can we add more lines, or have a scroll bar?

It would be nice, I also have problems with it, I had my lines down. Something like what you mentioned above "add a scrollbar"
https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=8055.0 is discussed in this topic but no one seems excited about changing the desing of Megaglest. I think that next step for developers is to create a new Megaglest Desing ...

I think it's an useful request, an alternative could be making the dialog box flexible so it would be shorter or larger depending on the length of the message, but it would be probably harder to code than adding  scroll bar.

Doing a bit of necromancy .... I've just done some testing, and the problem is still there. e.g. with the string TestSecondCommand in 1 Very Basic Tutorial

It would already help if the extra blank line on top would be removed and the text width increased. The whole box could also be larger, there is still ample space on my tiny screen to have, say, 1.5 width and length.

indeed this would be very useful, but ... sadly its hard to do as we don't use any kind of library for our GUI layout. But its defenitly a valid feature request and ist something that already annoyed me fpr a long time.

Programming a scrollbar is probably a lot of work, but maybe just increasing the space might work in the meantime, since this should be a parameter in the code?
