It's always been at the top; and although it is clear that the intent of this change was to improve things it highlights the need to make more substantial improvements to the way on screen messages are handled.
What we probably should have is an area that has a transparent dark background, a fixed size, supports scrolling, can be left open (or re-opened) and moved persitently around the screen.
This reverts commit 82f3eb45b9.
Change fonts; make use of the new feature to allow fonts to be specified using property from dialog xml.
Ensure that all fonts are defined within the style.
"/sim/signals/fdm-initialized" triggers _every_ time the FDM is reset,
so for every sim reset/relocate.
We need to uninstall the listeners after its first execution, or guard
certain parts of the initialization, to avoid starting multiple
"timer/update loops", or installing multiple property listeners.
Repeating "sim reset" often enough would eventually completely block/
overload the system.
"WARNING: PUI: Too many live puInterfaces open at once!"
due to multiple window/dialog updates during the same frame.
This error has been reported to cause FG to crash, but this cannot be
reliably reproduced.
interpreted as number format. (They couldn't be valid property paths anyway.)
If there's more than one such element, then the last one counts.

- don't use screen.window, but let it do its own dialog handling. Thereby
- make it faster (update every frame by default)
- prevent collisions with the menu
- allow to move the dialog away (only the left edge is draggable!)
- try color white (better color suggestions welcome :-)
a regular function argument for that. Note the "n" in this example:
setlistener("/sim/current-view/view-number", func(n) {
setprop("/sim/hud/visibility", !n.getValue());
}, 1);
algorithm (needed for the file selector and useful for other purposes, like
assembling lists of livery or screenshot files etc.)
- io.nas: move fixpath to string.nas (it's not only useful for file paths
but can also be used for property paths)
- screen.nas: move trim to string.nas (used by screen.nas and nasal-console.xml)
- gui.nas: add pattern matching to FileSelctor
- ufo.nas: use patterm matching (only *.ac and *.xml files shall be listed)
