New research screen zoom bug (361684)

The new research screen zoom is much better, but it is flawed when you get to the edge. The problem is that if you zoom in and you are outsize the tech tree, the game will automatically jump back. This results in two problems:

  1. as UI increases, the tech tree increase in size faster than the allowed zone, making some techs appear outsize the allowed area
  2. the bouncing is uncomfortable to watch and prone to cause motion sickness

Personally I would prefer to just get rid of the bounce back feature as this will solve both problems. Perhaps add some "jump to tree" feature instead as that will fix any issue where players accidentally move too far away. This is either a button or triggered by closing the screen and opening again. Either way it shouldn't trigger repeated and unexpected screen bouncing.

One thing to keep in mind here is that there is talk in the modding forum about adding techs. This means the tech tree might not be fixed in size forever and might end up depending on which mods are loaded. This is also a reason to not hardcode edges.


Steps to Reproduce
Set UI scale to 150%. Open the research screen. Zoom in and try to scroll to the top left. You can't reach the left text or the top row of techs.



User Feedback


This update has made the tech tree screen even WORSE than it was before on 4K! It was irritating before but now it's borderline unusable. Nobody tested the fix before deploying it? :confused:

Also, even with UI scale at 100% the bottom-most techs are partially cut off at default zoom level.
