3.0.8 f4 UIInput no text bug?
« on: January 05, 2014, 01:17:15 AM »
I upgraded to 3.0.8 f4 today and all my UIInputs stopped working.  Well, they work - they just don't display what you type (but what you type is there in the value).  Anyone else have this issue?

Check your label. Maybe it's set to clamp content, and doesn't fit height-wise.

Perhaps this is related to UILabel text printing changes...?

I have just updated to 3.0.8f4 from 3.0.8 and noticed if you've had 'Max Lines' set to '1' on a one-lined UILabel it makes the text absolutely tiny. Setting it to '0' fixes the font rendering, however this is causing me problems with UIInputs and passwords field as hitting enter is now appending line-feeds into passwords!

Even more annoyingly I can't say with confidence this is the problem as after testing it out in a blank, fresh scene everything works fine  :-[


edit: I have to say that I'm really not enjoying the recent text print 'tweaks'. It feels now like 'ShrinkContent' is far less effective at maximizing the use of potential space within a UILabel's specified dimensions. Also the Vertical pivoting on Shrunk text feels way too high... (image attached).

UILabel rendering was perfect (for me) before this update :(

Yes, setting max lines to "0" instead of "1" corrects the text not drawing issue but raises others.  I am going to assume this is a bug and not touch anything until the next update.  Please let me know if you don't consider this a bug.

The font being smaller than it should be after it shrinks is an issue I will investigate and address. What other issue is there? Regarding the pic you posted, I need that font to investigate further.

To be honest I've had it with the goddamn "keep crisp" option. It has given me WAY more trouble than it was worth. All these issues are a direct result of that feature. I might just kill the goddamn thing.

P.S. Input fields shouldn't be set to "shrink content" anyway. They should be set to "clamped".

high-five Aren, I feel your pain! Font rendering feels like it has undergone many iterations and I can appreciate it's a tricky feature to get perfect for every case and everyone's needs... anyway will check out f5 tomorrow and attach the font if problem persists.

Text rendering looks great once more in f5.

Thanks
