The cough drops of inventory letter q have a very long name.

And when scrolling back up, they overwrite part of the weapon. In this manner, the inventory letter of the weapon is sometimes also overwritten, leading to temporarily lost information.

This is in release candidate 0.9-4834.

[https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/6358](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/6358) Made an issue. Probably easy enough to fix by drawing the weapon/equip data later. So it always gets placed over the long name.

But a wrapping line might be a lot more elegant.

Addressed by truncating the string. That whole window really needs to be refactored \>\_\<
