Patch: Restored Ability Names (Update)

Would it be possible to get the cursor in the in-battle spell menu to "walk over" the extended names rather than under them? I can post a screenshot if that doesn't make any sense 

Hi kamesennin,

Thanks for the suggestion!
I know exactly what you're talking about and have looked into it before.

This is an issue for the in-battle spell list. Unfortunately, the layer priority is predetermined by the graphics mode used by the battle screen, which is different than what the field menu uses. 
I don't think the cursor can be brought to the top without some pretty radical changes to the way the battle graphics are shown in general.

If anyone out there has any further insight, I'd be all ears.

(A compromise may be to replace the last character of a spell name with a blank space whenever the cursor is underneath it... also a pretty complex task to pull off.)
