Odd, i've not noticed a problem like that occuring before in Diplomacy. The game does have a bug where text can overflow sometimes though...I'll send Mike a bug report for you.
By the way, I don't know what program you used to make those screenies, but the image quality is a bit low, especially in the second image. You might find
Irfanview is a useful image creation/editing program, and most importantly it's free. .png files are
much higher quality than .jpg files as well.
Thanks for the report, i'll forward it on to Mike now, but it will likely take him a long while to reply as he is currently swamped with his real job at the moment.
