The name text for the Boards Directory and Extensions Directory is repeating. Saw this in VASL6.6.5 and VASSAL3.6.9. Could not find a cause for this in the VASL mod. I think it is VASSAL releated.

Try “Compatibility” preferences for a graphics option and see if that helps.

I found the problem. It goes back to 3.5.0 at least. There will be a fix for it in 3.6.11.

Please try the VASSAL-3.6.11-SNAPSHOT-af71df5-hide\_fileconfigurer\_label build from our [builds archive](https://vassalengine.org/builds/build/511637778). Does that solve the problem?
