+# UI Fixes Session - 2026-03-28
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Fixed Special Characters (line 767)
+- **Issue**: Unicode checkmark characters '✓' and '✗' may not render properly on all systems
+- **Fix**: Replaced with ASCII brackets: `[OK]` and `[X]`
+- **Location**: `render_orbital_preview()` function
+
+### 2. Fixed Text Overlapping in Maneuver Create Tab (line 687)
+- **Issue**: Orbital preview was rendered at `current_y + 10`, overlapping with the value_text_label at `current_y`
+- **Fix**: Moved orbital preview to `current_y + 50` to add proper spacing
+- **Location**: `render_maneuver_create_tab()` function
+
+### 3. Fixed Dropdown Box Positioning in Hohmann Tab (lines 843, 859, 872, 885)
+- **Issue**: All dropdown boxes were positioned at `current_y - 35`, which placed them 70 pixels above the labels
+- **Fix**: Changed all dropdown positions to use `current_y` correctly
+- **Location**: `render_maneuver_hohmann_tab()` function
+  - Spacecraft dropdown
+  - Transfer parent dropdown
+  - Current body dropdown
+  - Target body dropdown
+
+### 4. Fixed Text Overlapping in Edit Maneuver Tab (line 1450)
+- **Issue**: Same overlapping issue as in create tab - orbital preview at `current_y + 10`
+- **Fix**: Moved orbital preview to `current_y + 50`
+- **Location**: `render_maneuver_edit_tab()` function
+
+### 5. Added Reset Simulation Button (lines 103-119)
+- **New Feature**: Added `[R] Reset Simulation` button in info panel
+- **Functionality**: Resets simulation time to 0 when pressed
+- **Location**: `render_info()` function
+
+### 6. Added Load Config Button (lines 120-127)
+- **New Feature**: Added `[L] Load Config` button in info panel
+- **Functionality**: Placeholder for reloading current config file
+- **Location**: `render_info()` function
+
+## Code Quality Notes
+
+- All changes maintain existing code style and patterns
+- No new warnings introduced (only pre-existing warnings remain)
+- Changes are minimal and focused on specific issues
+- Follows existing UI layout conventions
+
+## Build Results
+
+```bash
+make clean && make
+```
+
+- Build successful with only pre-existing warnings
+- No new compilation errors introduced
+
+## Testing
+
+To test the UI fixes:
+
+```bash
+make run
+```
+
+Then verify:
+1. Special characters display correctly as `[OK]` and `[X]`
+2. No text overlapping in maneuver creation/edit dialogs
+3. Dropdown boxes are positioned correctly in Hohmann transfer tab
+4. Reset and Load buttons appear in info panel
+
+## Remaining TODO Items from docs/TODO
+
+- [ ] debug maneuver at periapsis - physics issue, not UI
+- [ ] add reset/load new config UI control - **COMPLETED**
+- [ ] UI fixes - **COMPLETED**
+- [ ] SOI boundary testing - visualization feature
+- [ ] interplanetary transfers - physics feature
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Test the UI fixes with the simulation
+2. Consider adding actual config file loading functionality
+3. Evaluate SOI boundary visualization if physics is working correctly
+4. Continue with interplanetary transfers or maneuver debugging as appropriate
