Thanks to your video, I'm now sure we're seeing the same thing. We simply interpret it differently.
In your video, you place the edge of the rectangle next to the yellow line, but the anchor is not placed at the tip of the rectangle, it's the white square inside the rectangle, as seen here:

Would it help if I put a video on YouTube and created a new bug report or are you happy for me to add to this one, if what I'm reporting is different from the OP?
You chose wisely.
I'll answer in the new thread.

I've seen this behaviour before for one user. I need to find the thread.
EDIT: here.
The user solved this issue by... buying a new PC.

Your GPU struggles to handle textures. I think it can be caused by a corrupted game file issue or a GPU issue.
Try a DCS cleanup and repair. Choose the "slow" way.

HI. It seems the sim is unable to compile a crucial shader, which leads to the crash:

Purge your "fxo" and "metashaders2" subfolders (they are located in your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder).
If this does not help, try a DCS cleanup and repair.
Still no joy? Uninstall then reinstall your GPU driver.

HI @Elphaba. Devs answered me. This is not a bug: add a flag name in the FLAG field so this flag gets updated anytime the player passes a waypoint (e.g. the flag will equal 5 when WP5 is passed).
You've been heard nonetheless: devs will soon* allow you to hide helper gates by leaving the FLAG field empty.
*no dates.

Sorry, tried searching the board for "cows die" and didn't find anything.
It's OK, sometimes bugs are first reported internally, which means you won't find anything on the forums.

These are two different things. I believe OP asked for a fixed size.
I checked what you describe: from my point of view, there is no such thing as floating textboxes. Their position is fixed. The problem is that they are left-aligned: the anchor is at the bottom left of the rectangle (white square in the screenshot below). I think you are asking for a centered anchor. Is that it?

I don't have your issue. Can you reproduce the error with my mission? If not, please attach your .miz.

It may be, yes. I can't say for sure. You can first try a bigger pagefile, since it costs nothing.

I'm telling him to target ahead where the sight is pointing and he is still off the screen trying to lock something else.
Precisely, because he cannot turn his sight to where the AI helper points anymore. Because the gyro is borked.
As you can see, when the gyro is borked, there's an offset between the AI helper logo and the periscope view. As a consequence, when you say "look over here (cross on the orange disc), Petrovitch will look over there (cross on the blue disc).
If you want to make sure of this, switch to the CPG position, look into the periscope and try to find your target. You wont be able to center the periscope on the target.
Solution : ask Petrovich to go Observ. off before you make your turns. This way, your gyro will stay aligned.

If you want us to help you with that, we'd need the latest zip file from your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder.

I didn't know that alt tabbing can somehow cause problems in DCS.
No, it doesn't. I asked because I wanted to be sure Alt+Tabbing was from your initiative, not from some program. Another user is seeing fast Alt+Tabbing in DCS and he does not know what causes them (and I have no idea either).
Pleas ensure your Windows power plan is not set to an eco mode. Choose normal or high/ultimate power plan and see if things improve.

This guide will help you: https://mcci.com/support/guides/how-to-change-the-windows-pagefile-size/
In your case, I recommend these values:
- Init size: 32768 (32GB)
- Max size: 32768 (32GB)
Windows uses a pagefile in order to relieve the system fast memory (RAM). The more RAM a PC has, the less page fle it needs. Your PC has 16GB of RAM, and DCS can very greedy when it comes to memory. A bigger pagefile might help, as long as the drive hosting the pagefile is fast.

Thanks for the heads up.
- The issue is clearly visible in the Yak-52 and the I-16 (2-blade), as well as in the Bf-109 and the Fw190 (3-blade).
- I could not spot the issue in the Spitfire, the P-51 and the P-47 (4-blade).
- Strangely, I could not spot the issue with the Mi-24 either (5-blade), nor with the Huey (2-blade). Maybe helicopter blades are simulated differently.

Let's use videos taken from the deck, because as @Micr0 underlined, photographers "cheat" with longer exposure. Videos don't cheat as much.
Here's some footage from CVN-69 and CVN-70 (Nimitz class):
CVN-78 here (Ford class):
Back to the Nimitz class with CVN-72:
According to these videos, this photo does not cheat:
Here's a last one from CVN-76 (Nimitz class), with what looks like a longer exposition, but it's very useful to locate the spotlights:
null
A few observations:
- In most videos, the lower part of the island appears to be lit in yellow. This light comes from spotlights pointing downward. These spotlights are never lit in DCS.
- In all videos, the middle part of the island stays dark (they don't seem to use the top yellow lights very often). In DCS, the blue/teal lights are always turned off, while the top yellow lights are always turned on.
- In the last video, many lights are off. I assume it's a wartime configuration. In DCS, there's no such thing.

I believe you won't get the cleanup part, just the repair.
