I have been playing more speed freestyle and find it annoying to have to scroll down to read the chat. This can cost valuable time in a speed game. I have a wide screen monitor and like to play using the "small" map option. Therefore there is room to the right of my screen for the chat. Basically I could have all my gameplay (chat, log, and map) on the screen at once and not worry about scrolling?
p.s. the new update messes with the right side of my screen, but I am hoping the update is removed or can be excluded via an option button.
