Speech Bubble & HWA?

[Nifflas]

I'm using the speech bubble object, works nicely with HWA it seems, but I'm getting a massive slowdown in a scrolling application, but only during scrolling. Now, the speech bubble object is located on top of everything in a layer with a scrolling coefficient of zero, so there shouldn't be any graphical changes to the object itself. I have the feeling that it re-renders since it's actual X/Y position in the frame changes (despite that the location on the screen stays the same) and that's what causes the slowdown.

Now, the speech bubble object is the only text object which lets me resize a background according to how many lines of text there is (and still be able to use automatic word wrap) so I have no alternatives here. Is this something that will be looked into?

post the app, it makes debugging much easier

I doubt it will help, since it's not a problem in the .mfa, but sure, I'll create one and upload anyway.

Here. This example makes it clear that it's the amount of text that causes the slowdown, not the actual size of the object. This strengthens my suspicion that the problem is that the object re-renders it's content when it shouldn't have to.

The Speech Bubble object has been modified so that it works in HWA mode but I had no time yet to see what could be optimized...

Ah, I can understand that
