Text has moved

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Hi

here are two corona simulators running side by side:

the one on the left is running daily build 606 and the one on the right is running 627 – why has the position of the text moved?

I’m using the exact same code, in fact im running the project from the same folder each time!

Ive seen that in my samples as well after installing the Coronas build (Version 2011.627 (2011.8.2)). All my texts were okay when building with the latest stable Corona`s version (591) btw.

it will be different on device also so be sure to test on device also [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58531[/import]

I also experienced this, and it also happens on the device. I had to go back to an earlier build.

I hope that Ansca fix this soon as I want to use a recent build (due to Inmobi bug fixes) but of course basic things like text positioning must work properly. [import]uid: 29384 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58612[/import]

haven’t tried this but what if you created the text then set the reference point would it position correctly [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58613[/import]

Hi jstrahan,

I`ve setup like that but still got the same trouble with the texts. :frowning: [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58634[/import]

#7

did you try different reference points to see if it made a difference [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58635[/import]

#8

im using

object.x=display.contentWidth\*0.5

no reference points [import]uid: 24641 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58638[/import]

#9

Yes, setting the reference point it does work.

BTW would be much more interesting if the Daily Builds would get some function that already works nice unchanged! :\

Thank you Js for the help! [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 15826 reply_id: 58639[/import]

Have Ansca changed the default reference point for text objects? In other words, is it a bug or a feature?

The API documentation says “The local origin is at the center of the text; the reference point is initialized to this local origin.”
