I created a multiboard which has menus and stuff (uses arrow keys to navigate). My problem is when I change menus text starts to not display for certain rows. During the menu changes the multiboard changes size (rows/columns) and text. Any idea what may be wrong? I can't really post the code because its overly complex and connected to other codes.

Edit: Also, if the board it too small I get text overlapping. And when changing to a smaller multiboard I can still see some text from another menu.

If a multiboard is overly complex, you probably did something more complex then necessary. Also I assume 'connected to other codes' means other triggers or variables. Just post your triggers here. If those triggers are also part of the multiboard, please post those too.

I personally think you'll regret this :) If you decide you just don't want to get into it don't feel bad. I think its pretty complex.
