String Object - Word-Wrap issue

Hmm. Does the Active System Box behave this way, as well? I highly recommend using that over the string object. I haven't benchmarked it (I'll do it now) but as long as you aren't actively pushing performance boundaries, you shouldn't see a performance difference between strings, which really should be considered legacy objects, and Active System Boxes.

Okay, Windows benchmarks:

1,000 string objects positioned [Random(640) by Random(480) +32] and sized at 640x100: ~212 frames per second
1,000 Active System Boxes positioned positioned [Random(640) by Random(480) +32] and sized at 640x100: ~130 frames per second

As an aside: The string object is about 60%-80% faster than the ASO is. If you need that extra performance, stick with the string object, but if you need variables, ability to resize at runtime, change the overall look, etc., the ASO is more appropriate.

Edit: The ASO has the same word-wrapping problem that the string object has. So, outside of the benchmarks, I don't have much to contribute here, sorry! I do recommend that you post this in the bug tracker.

So what's wrong with the wrappin in the picture?

Instead of staying attached to "oooo", the comma is being moved to the beginning of the second line by itself. This is what it looks like in Fusion:

I looove
, Fusion

but it should look like this:

I looove,
Fusion

Unfortunately I can't think of any sort of workaround for this issue outside of doing some weird stuff that probably wouldn't be reliable.

Thank you very much for doing that, Bipolar! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wrapping depends on width&height of string object. If you set corret size then you get your goal.

It's work for me like that:

________
This text wraps correctly,
see what I mean?

Maybe Windows verion issue?

I've been having this exact problem, with punctuation not wrapping properly, but I guess there is no solution for it yet, which is surprising since this thread is almost a year old. Using Active System Box doesn't fix it either.

How did you managed to make the String object wrap text in the first place during runtime?
Did you just use Align Vertical = Center ?

I did test it with aligning the text vertically to center, and the comma does appear on the new line when it wraps. However, editing the text in the frame editor does not wrap the comma to the next line.

I've just began manually creating text animations in an active object. My RPG has lots of text and I hated how the punctuation was wrapping. Doing this is pesky but I get to control how it wraps.

I cant see this issue in the Bug Tracker ( maybe im just searching it wrong ).
Posting this issue there would make it more likely to be resolved/ fixed if applicable.
