Summary	09128: arkretrn, arkretrnu: Typo in Arkanoid Returns "General Info" tab "Short Name" field
Description	A typo occurred somewhere between MAME v0.238 and v0.262 in the "General Info" tab "Short Name" field of MAME's UI for two of the three Arkanoid Returns versions. - "arkretrn" currently shows up as "arkretm". (first image) - "arkretrnu" currently shows up as "arkretmu". (second image) - "arkretrnj" is correct. (third image) The typos were not in MAME v0.238. (fourth image) The typos are only in the "General Info" tab -- games launch/run correctly with ROMnames "arkretrn" and "arkretrnu".
Steps To Reproduce	Launch MAME. Type "arkret". Look at the "Short Name" field of the "General Info" tab.

No.23056 cuavas Administrator Feb 27, 2025, 01:48	It isn't a typo, it's just bad kerning (often jokingly called "keming") caused by MAME's dodgy text layout engine.
No.23057 PL1 Tester Feb 27, 2025, 02:04 edited on: Feb 27, 2025, 02:23	That was what I originally thought it might be, but it displayed properly for "arkretrnj" and in v0.238. EDIT: Updated issue wording seconds after Cuavas closed it. Please return Status to "Closed" and Resolution to "Invalid Report".

Anyway I think this is a non-issue, since the Short Name comes from the driver, it isn't a separate field that could be typo'd. Closing.
