Posts: 153              Just submitted a bug report for...

setting textField.textSize property has no visible effect in executables run 
under Windows XP.

textField.textSize = 10

followed by

textField.textSize = 20

Does not change the on screen text size in Windows compiles. It DOES work for 
OSX universal executables.

Location: Texas              Odd... RB2009r3 under Windows Vista, works fine 
for me.  What font are you using?

EDIT:  Nevermind, you're right.  I set the size within the IDE... it does not 
work when set via code.  My apologizes.

Actually, I couldn't get BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE... nothing to work.  Even 
tried changing text color via code.

Posts: 153              Yes, this is causing a headache when I need to 
dynamically resize text fields to adjust for windows/mac layout differences and 
screen size changes.

I guess I could go back to the deprecated editField, but that would also be a 
royal PITB to fix the underlying methods that were automatically switched to 
textFields by RB 2009 r3

For now, I'm letting the Mac builds have full features while the PC version is 
stuck without the prettier window layouts.

Location: Texas              Yeah, I'd say this bug is pretty major and 
hopefully we won't have to wait until the end of the update period for a fix w/ 
this one.

Textcolor is working (unlike what I previously stated)... I just had 
rgb(50,50,50) which was too similar to black to tell (lol, I'm blind).  Anyhow, 
it just appears that everything under the "Font" category of the properties is 
not working.

EDIT:  And, alignment isn't working... probably more (I'm too tired to try 
every one).

Location: USA              I've been wondering about this for some time (ever 
since I started seeing people complaining about formatting in TextField 
controls) and I finally decided to make a fool of myself...  
Is it possible that TextFields aren't supposed to have any formatting, period? 
IIRC from the 2009r3 release notes, TextFields were supposed to be unformatted 
while TextAreas were supposed to be formatted... could this possibly be 
intended behavior?  
(DON'T laugh - I'm still using 2008r5.1 so I have no idea what goes on in 
2009r3...)
