Pathfinder Background Skill and Damage Dice Viewing

I am having two issues and need some guidance on working them out. For the Pathfinder Character Sheet, I have it set to allowing "Unchained Background Skills" The problem is I cannot designate which skills are Background and which are not. As I plug in the skill ranks, the program is simply making default assumptions on which are Background and which are not and it is messing up the math. It's also not adding up the ranks correctly. I have a max of 84, used all 84 plus 28 backgrounds points and It makes it look like "-8" for Background and +7 skill ranks leftover on Skills. My second issue is viewing the Damage Dice. I have a player with a character sheet and for one of his weapons he rolls 12d8+8 for damage. Highlighting the cursor over it shows the numbers rolled but it trails off half of the results offscreen and I can't read the rest no matter what I change around on screen.

Make sure you have checked "Display/Enable Unchained Skills" and "Enable Background Skills" from the Config page.  You should now see Adventure|Background|Consolidated.  Choose an appropriate Skill tab to add ranks, adjustments, rolls, etc.  There's also an option on the Config page to swap Adventure ranks for Background.  See if you are still having math issues. I'm not sure what to say about the hover text over the inline in chat... Seems like this used to be an issue with it overflowing off the page but I just checked mine it wraps for me.  (Chrome browser on PC)  Here's a roll with 5d6+11 for damage.  I tried a real long one with 10d6 and it did overflow off the screen.  You might submit a bug report.

The section might be hidden, on the Skill stab, below the ranks there is Skills, but above that is "Unchained Skills" with an arrow, make sure to expand that section. It sounds like you used the 2 extra skill points per level on adventure skills instead of background skills. once you see the different subtabs you can fix that. Trade Adventure Ranks for Background Ranks is to make the math add if you want to spend more than 2 points per level on background skills.
I see, thank you about the skills. As for the dice results trailing off-page I'll submit something for that.
