Hello,
I’m seeing some issues with the Text COMP not updating when adjusting the “Font → Text Padding” parameters.
Also, some strange behaviour with the Text Padding in general.
I would have thought that the “Text Padding” parameters would essentially create a bounding-box inside, which is offset by the amount given by the appropriate parameter.
However, it doesn’t seem to work that way, and has some odd side effects.
I’ve included a tox that hopefully demonstrates this.
Hmm,
I might have hit the spacebar at some point, so the timeline wasn’t running.
Which may have cause my initial confusion, and I might have been digging into the wrong things here.
Ok, the issue will be fixed in our next update. The problem was with some overly aggressive optimizations - not everything was getting updated properly when only the padding was changed. When you changed the text, this forced a full update which is why that example of yours worked.
Wow, that was quick!
It’s unlikely to be something that is actually going to be scripted. Like I said, wrap it in a container and do it that way.
But it certainly wasn’t behaving itself, and as I tried to figure it out, it became weirder and weirder!
