Hello all,

Though I have some experience in programming, scripting, 3D model manipulation and tying all that stuff together, I decided to start using the CK as an absolute beginer and follow the tutorials http://www.creationkit.com/Main_Page.

I have been finding the CK easy enough to use and completed the "lokir's Tomb" starter dungeon easily.

I have moved on to basic quest and again the CK seems eay enough to use. ("GSQ01" http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Dialogue#Overview.)

I have encountered a problem while following the "Bethesda Tutorial Dialogue" http://www.creationkit.com/Bethesda_Tutorial_Dialogue#Overview.

The problem is that, the dialogue views> branch> topic remains empty in the relevant panel in the creation kit even though I have set the topic text field as instructed.

The problem persist after saving the quest in the CK, closing the CK then reopening it and loading the required data (File>Data...) or shuting down the PC then restarting and restarting CK with relevant data.

I have also tried completely removing the tutorial quest from CK and PC, restarting PC and CK and remaking the tutorial quest to no avail (same problem happens). This shows that it is easy to show that the problem is easy to repeated.

Below this I will show the problem in more detail with screen shots. I simply want to get some input regarding this problem and (hopefully) some help regarding;

• Is this just a known graphical bug in the Dialogue views?¹
  
• Can I simply carry on with the tutorial and further quests and know that this issue does do affect my finished work?
  
• Is it likely that because I cannot see the Topic text, I will struggle when it comes to multiple dialogue branches - branches will be hard to track?
  
• Have I missed a step in the creation of the topic though I have followed the tutorial properly or is the tutorial missing a step?
  
• Is there a fix for this problem?

I have tried looking for this problem online both through my search engine and by searching these forums and found posters relating similar problems but not this one exactly.

I would appreciate any constructive help any of you could give. Thanks in advance!

More detail of the problem:

The dialogue views branch should look like this;

However, it looks like this;

Notice the missing topic text - even though this text was correctly entered;

The topic info is exactly as sown in the tutorial;

It's a graphical glitch: grab the right edge of the topic rectangle and drag it just a little larger. It should appear.

Ah!

Thank you very much for the swift and accurate reply. I was starting to feel a bit dim having had to ask.

I had tried to resize as you say but used the left side - very strange that it did not work!

Any ways, have just reloaded the CK and GSQ01 and, after doing as you say, it now works with both left and right resizing.
