Area of messages interferes with hud element ... especial the adv build mode

Confirmed, it does not get adjusted to the larger than default mini map.
The messages also cover your power and speed bar, that can be frustrating as well. This can not really be fixed since you do need a large amount of space to see more than 1 error message. Maybe adding the ability to hide these messages (by type: error, effects, server,...) could be a good solution.
