Newcomer / Intro Please help fix my UI Panels

I don't know what I did wrong.

I was in the middle of setting Key Commands via the Control settings so keys F1-F5 would be for the new Wingman features, and I could increase and decrease Sensors with the keypad + and - keys. I don't believe anything was assigned to those buttons, and I received no warning that any were assigned to any other commands.. anyway.. I went back to the game and was sitting in dock and had to step away for a moment. While I was away my nephew must have selected LAUNCH on the home screen. Because I sat back down and had red lights flashing, Trespass Warnings and Fines, and about 25 seconds left before the Station Defenses blew my ship up. :eek: I frantically started smashing buttons and managed to make it away from the station with about 3 seconds left.

Then I turned around and headed back in the station and was hit with more fines because I forgot to request Docking :( So I hit the button to bring up the Nav UI Panel and it's now TWICE THE SIZE IT USED TO BE. And for the life of me I can't figure out why.

I've tried looking in the Control Settings, the Graphics Settings, and the PDF Game Manual and see nothing denoting the ability to alter the UI Panel sizes. I thought maybe it was the UI Focus button, but when I press the Left Shift Key it closes the current open panel, and if I hold it down, it will close the current panel, and zoom out to the Home Screen of the Station so it's the original size, but it zooms back out when I release the key.


What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it!?! These GIANT UI Panels and huge text is very annoying.

Can't remember seeing a control to change the size of UI panels. I would go to the Options menu and to graphics options and look at the options for changing resolution or something like that.

The side panels do appear to be larger now, or at least the camera moves in closer. A little irritating as I used to be able to see whether the item selected in the nav menu was an asteroid cluster or not, but now I can't without returning to forward view. I was planning to drop a ticket tonight, but it does occur to me that this may have been intentional for some reason (easier to read or some such).

The patch reset some people's FoV settings.

Have sticky keys been switched on accidentally? Holding down shift for 8 seconds turns it on, which might result in giant menus.

Wasn't the fov changing; view out of the front of the ship was identical. Doesn't matter though as after the small update last night things were as they were before. Didn't even get a chance to ticket it :). If it didn't fix it but the issue is intermittent then I'll ticket it next time I see it happen.
