If you're trying to flick through planetary details, for example to look at the newly added materials, it can prove a right fight! eg: Look at me just trying to compare materials on these moons:-

If the details were simply less spaced out this problem would reduce/disappear.

eg: Look at this before/after (where I've manipulated the layout)!

I'm sure there's alternative, but simply reducing the spacing (hell even just give us an option for the amount of spacing?) will be quick and easy.

ps: Another alternative would be to simply click on a heading, and for it to be the center/focus of all subsequent displays. ie: Click on the "Planet Materials" prompt and the software always display that pane ensuring those details are scrolled into view.

I've actually Bug-Reported that undue large spacing quite a while ago, after it was implemented for reasons unknown.

Although I think it was forwarded for Dev Consideration, it's unclear if it will revert to the "old ways" where less Space was wasted and all Details did fit on one Screen without scrolling.
For the sake of usability, I'd definitely appreciate the old, tighter spacing. Especially with Materials now displayed.

Same here. I was building a database of celestial bodies while exploring, and it was quite simple to do so bases on single screenshots before the change (round 2.1) to the wider and less legible spacing. I also bug reported the issue and got a similar response to that of Falconfly.

Let's see if things are fixed during and after the next beta. Other nuisances introduced during the 2.1 beta still present in the game include tiling in planetary textures. I'd like to see those go away as well.

Well I never... Didn't realise it actually use to be "better" and akin to my manipulated version...

Tempted to raise it as a bug then considering it changed for the worse and now it's a right pain at times...
