Multiline Text Height on Kindle Fire

Hi Rob:

I’m on 1260.  I downloaded 2100 to get on a more recent version and now when the Simulator starts I get a black screen with a white rectangle.  No error in the “Output” screen.  I loaded my apps and Corona sample apps and I get the same thing - black screen/white rectangle/no error.  I removed Corona from my PC and reloaded Corona and get the same behavior.  Multiple times.  I attached a screenshot of my Simulator screen.

What do I need to do so my Simulator works again?

Thanks.

The symptoms you are seeing is related to the graphics drivers for your graphics card not fully supporting OpenGL 2.0.   You need to update your drivers to something newer.  If you have a desk top, you could consider updating to a more modern graphics card.  It looks like you’re running Windows XP which probably means older drivers.

If you can’t upgrade your drivers (i.e. there are not new ones for your graphics card for XP) and you can’t upgrade your hardware/software to support OpenGL 2.0, you will probably have to drop back to 1260 for now.

I don’t know of any fixes in Corona SDK that would address your text problem on the Kindle Fire HD.
