I always found it quite annoying that when talking to an NPC and hovering directly over their dialog that the text will appear in a black box. I see how this is meant to probably improve the experience the reading but for me it made the experience actually less pleasent. Especially today I came across an example that shows it quite well. In the pictures you can firstly see the dialogue with out me hovering over it and secondly with me hovering over it... or rather, you can't really see any thing in the second one.
My guess is that it comes from the dialog being very long, but in some cases that is necessary so that shouldn't be limited in any way.

So here is my request to maybe remove it or at least approve it somehow? One thing that already would have an huge impact, it the text box wouldn't appear when hovering over the scrollbar, because otherwise it makes scrolling a bit harder than necessary.

oh, now i got it, when reading the rules. this dialogue has too much text in it to render as a single label. not an easy issue to automatically fix though:

Yeah, I should have mentioned that it depends on the option. For the picture above I chose the "I'd like to cast my first vote!" option.
