The text output for the secondary print function is missing about the first 20 leading characters.
This is the function that prints stuff like mining and combat xp below the chat box when in space.

Most messages are not even seen so I suppose the new players might not ever notice the missing messages.

Is it the same area that display the asteroid minerals percenrage when scanned?

No thats on the upper right

Turns out that targetless pushed the box off screen....
No clue how it can be fixed.

Try MDI-Targetlist instead. Plays nicer with non-standard hud setups.
