Dynamic chat label resizing — at Initial Version

Description

The labels "To:" and "Text:" in the chat window are properly formatted in english, but some languages need more space than had been allocated when the strings and labels were introduced in r17771.

Just using the maximum size to fit all language yields ugly results in enlgish, see screenshot:

A better approach were to resize the label and text boxes dependent on the actual length. There is Engine.GetTextWidth() that should be able to accomplish that.

This is how it would look if we were just to follow hardcoded sizes that are compatible with long-strings.
