The more text you have in a "line" (which a nc will wrap as a paragraph) the worse it gets. An explicit \n resets it but in a long code line it happens too, particularly when you have a UI scaling to anything other than 1.0 (some folks report it when scale>1.0, some when scale<1.0) You can click somewhere in a line of code and start typing to insert characters and then see them inserting several places to the left of where the click and the blinking cursor indicate they should, or see the cursor getting further and further ahead of the characters you're typing, if you're typing a new line.
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-20178 and its dupes are the clearest description of it for notecards, https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-18875 and https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-21388 point it out in the script editor As for versions, I screamed and fled from the 2.0.x viewers... only came back to the 2.1 beta so I can tell you its definitely in 2.1 beta and later From a printers perspective, it looks to me very much like the kerning and tracking data in the fonts used are a little off. This would have least effect with UI scale = 1, but as soon as you apply a scaling factor other than unity then it show much more rapidly - my digital typography knowledge is a little rusty but I believe that particularly a tracking error would grow as a square function with line length when scaled that way. If the data in the font itself is good, then its in the editor code. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
