Scrolling down then up works around the issue.Benchmark - Include preset level in detailed benchmark result viewGeneral - Clicking on another player's profile box should take me to their summaryMatch HIstory - When viewing detailed match history make “Length” say “Game Length” and move to leftLadders - Don't show arrow on highlight (no subview available)Match History - Don't show arrow on highlight in Bechmark (no subview)Summary - Disable and dim left / right arrow when at first / last cardSummary - Handle name spacing issues on cardsGeneral - Make profile / rank window in top right floating in header.
