display.newText not in position on Device

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hello!

I am using display.newText with wrap feature to place large text. As display.newText cannot display text longer than 2048px, I have to split with many display.newText positioning one after other.
The problem is that on Device, the display.newText objects have distance between them!
It does not have to do with scaling from config.lua.
To position the text, I am using the previous text coordinates. Also tried contentHeight with no luck.

local txtParagraph1 = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse tempus sagittis mi ut dictum. Sed ut nibh quis quam luctus porttitor nec in eros. Vivamus quis luctus libero. Aliquam nunc ipsum, pellentesque vel vehicula ut, consectetur ut nisl. Aenean varius rhoncus congue. Suspendisse in purus lectus. Vestibulum sed est purus."  
local txtParagraph2 = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse tempus sagittis mi ut dictum. Sed ut nibh quis quam luctus porttitor nec in eros. Vivamus quis luctus libero. Aliquam nunc ipsum, pellentesque vel vehicula ut, consectetur ut nisl. Aenean varius rhoncus congue. Suspendisse in purus lectus. Vestibulum sed est purus."  
  
local myParagraph1=display.newText(txtParagraph1,0,0,300,0,nil,14)  
myParagraph1:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint)  
myParagraph1.x = 10  
myParagraph1.y = 10  
  
local myParagraph2=display.newText(txtParagraph2,0,0,300,0,nil,14)  
myParagraph1:setReferencePoint( display.BottomLeftReferencePoint)  
myParagraph2:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint)  
myParagraph2.x = 10  
myParagraph2.y = myParagraph1.y

FOUND what the problem has to do with:

The problem is that the text contentHeight is not the real! The text takes smaller place.

So, waiting for a daily build?

Hello!

Do you have any news? I am seeing it below in the bug list, buts its a major problem when you have to display long text… just you cannot!
We have to display the text as images and put them one after another, which makes the app large in storage.
Pls., take a look asap.
Thank you. [import]uid: 38658 topic_id: 23824 reply_id: 113950[/import]
