Game log is not at the bottom of the screen

The game log is not in the bottom of the screen. See the screenshot below. Looks like it's aligned to the help-search-wait buttons, but it should be aligned to the quick slots.

On wider screens, the three buttons are positioned horizontally and not vertically like the screenshot, so it's not a problem.

Action buttons and quickslots together make up toolbar. Game log itself placed on top (which defined by its children bound box ) of toolbar.

Toolbar can be extensively tuned ( options menu -> settings -> ui settings )

I don't know yet how to solve this issue right way.

Maybe select another default toolbar config:

Maybe game log should be part of toolbar but this will require a bit more sophisticated layouting ( now it is just H|Vboxes and it is not enough to nicely pack it alltogether)

How complicated would it be to just ignore the right-most toolbar? Might be a viable fix.

Not sure if it will be easy without exposing too much Toolbar internals

Then maybe the user's options as to which layout to choose should be limited. For example, in the above case maybe the number of quick slots should either be 2 or less or 5 or more. That way the buttons will always be horizontal. This might also be too complicated, I'm just brainstorming here.

But the point is, not everybody is aware that the number of quick slots can be changed. Actually, I was not aware of that. So people might install the game and "suffer" from this, not knowing it can be fixed.

Not sure if it is a good solution to jump from 2 to 5 slots, also those number will be different for each device & ui scale pair.

But yeah "Pain Driven Development" is a thing, I will do something just don't know what exactly yet.

I didn't mean to use special numbers for this, but rather for them to be dependent on the screen size and the UI sizing. So these would change accordingly. But the player would only get the "+-" choice that would jump from one number to another.

Starting from a11e904 Quickslots by default will try to fill bottom row.

Good step towards a better UI and UX!
