The text edition widgets could get better in several ways:
Creation screen: The backstory can be edited but there's no way to select text and remove all of it or all but the first sentence. Shift for selecting characters and deleting would be nice. Same remark for quote.
Build city screen: This one's funnier. If I type about 30 characters, I am not permitted to add more. However the 5 last characters or so have caused the line to scroll, so the text appears on 2 lines, in the creation screen and in the tooltips on the icons saying event XXX completed in city YYY. The city name should be limited to what can be displayed on a single line. Maybe this is screen-resolution-dependent?
Finally, big city names are ugly on the cloth map because they are left-adjusted instead of centered. The result is tons of characters flowing far far to the right of the city.
