Hi all,
Is anyone else having an issue where the city map text moves along with the map zooming feature? I turned off SDF font rendering and issue still occurs.

Re: Text moving with zoom feature in city maps
I've seen that happen for some streamers, like MrMay on Twitch (sadly his videos have expired now).
Text is shown on a fixed offset from where it should be on screen (in your example way higher than where they should be), so as you change map scale they seem to "drift" compared to be map.
What was really weird in the case of Mr May is that it was not happening in his first videos, and he didn't remember if he changed anything since then, so it was nearly impossible to diagnose.
Game save and logs could be useful to try to understand what's going on...

Re: Text moving with zoom feature in city maps
I can't remember when it starting happening to me. I'm wondering if I should try a fresh install of the latest alpha build.

Re: Text moving with zoom feature in city maps
I could reproduce a similar issue by enabling GUI free scaling
(Advanced -> Interface -> GUI - Free scaling)
Try disabling that, see if that helps.

Maybe that thread should be moved to bug reports then
