1) Long War 2 version: current, 1.0
2) PC Windows 10, 64-bit
3) No additional mods
4) See the screeshot bellow, I think it apperead after promoting the soldier to the next rank and thus adding a new perk to the list
5) I can offer a savegame, just let me know if you need one.
The perk Center Mass is neatly aligned in the center of the window.

Re: Text alignment issue in Soldier View (Avenger)
Believe it or not, this is not something we can fix. The parser is keying on the word "center" and centering the text despite it not being closed in tags. We raised this with Firaxis in, oh, March 2016, but it didn't get fixed. I'm stubbornly not changing the name of the perk.
Re: Text alignment issue in Soldier View (Avenger)
I had a suspicion that this was more of an Easter Egg.
Just to be clear, if I go on a limb and edit the name of the perk in the respective .ini files, will that allow the game to properly align it?

Re: Text alignment issue in Soldier View (Avenger)
That's a really nice bug! I'd leave it that way!
Edit: I wonder if that would also work with some other "text formating" words (like "bold")

Can confirm this strange "Formatting error".. but, it was for another Perk which i can't remember exactly at this moment.
PS/EDIT; Ooooppppsss.. it was "Center Mass" -- indeed!

It's in the localization files (INT / ESN / FRA etc.) in the Perk Pack subfolders rather than an ini file, but, yes, a different name should make it go away.8wayz wrote:I had a suspicion that this was more of an Easter Egg.

Re: Text alignment issue in Soldier View (Avenger)
IDK how exactly does it work ingame (does it use HTML tags?), but maybe you can fix it by placing some tags inside that word. Something like "Cen</b>ter" could do the trick.
