Not so much a bug report as an accessibility feature request.

When the text is scrolling in the dialogue boxes, the text in a multi-line box starts off centred and then jumps up when the next line starts appearing. For some reason this really messes up my eyes, I guess it's because it suddenly shifts while I'm already reading it.

It would be a big improvement if the text could start off in the appropriate place (so higher up in the box when there are multiple lines) but even just an option to turn off the scrolling would be enough to save my eyes (a text speed slider where the high end is near instant?).

I'd be really grateful if there was something along these lines. Thanks!

I will look into this. Out text object is somewhat limited in its capabilities but something like instant text would be doable.

If you tap the Action button while the dialog is scrolling it will instantly display the full line. Does that help for now?

That's what I've been doing, but if it's a short line it's lead to me accidentally skipping it. An option for instant text would definitely solve that problem but a speed control would definitely be superior if it's feasible.

Thanks for considering it!
For the record, this is one of my gripes with the game. The text is way slower than I'm reading it so as the OP here, I too have to mash the button or risk skipping it.
And what about German and Russian language? They are still not available on GOG.
