Text labels bug?

[chrono280]

This is following up on Barbanera’s suggestion of moving the bug discussion from (Text labels in 3.2.0: bug or feature?) to here.

From what barbanera said in that post:

I created a test module to demonstrate it (includes hot women pics!):

text_label_centering_bug.vmod
(66.46 KiB) Downloaded 2 times

(instructions in the module when you run it).

While I was at it I added the demonstration of some lurking issue with the “line feed” bug/thing (to which this thread was originally dedicated): having a text label only printing something like $FOO$ gives a new line with the content of $FOO$ - even when empty - but only if not followed in the trait order by another text label with some actual static text. Otherwise, it will overlap the following text label in the trait order (which is actually printed first). Is this as expected…? Note that if the following text label does not have static text, but rather just something like $BAR$, both $FOO$ and $BAR$ will appear on their own lines (no overlap).

I think I am seeing a similar thing in what I described. The first line of text in my module is aligned properly. The second is misaligned. Both lines contain a $FOO$ type reference, referencing a property on a property sheet.

This bug did NOT happen in 3.2.0 svn 8221 but is happening in svn8258. I have not been able to test in in the versions in between.

I want to attach my module but it is for a game that is currently being printed and I don’t want an unfinished copy of the vassal module floating around the internet before the game is printed. I’m pretty sure that actually violates something I signed with GMT Games heh. I did PM it to Uckelman but I’m not sure if he got it / has the time. Brent, if you know what is up with this bug, I’ll PM the module to you.
