1. Main Step 5.

Although the font list does populate, the initial value is not set.

If I type some text its using some big font and looks pretty bad

The aligntment is set to Left and the font size is 9.

PR #440 fixes this (issue #438). I found that bug while writing this test.

07 Tools.md, section 10 (Text), steps 29-34: when I follow these steps, a new layer is created as soon as typing starts, and once ESC is pressed the layer remains. It is empty at that point, but it is still there.

[FireFist-Redhawk]

What I'm finding is that if you remove the layers after each sequence with the Remove Layer button, or CTRL+Del key combination, the expected result occurs. But if you remove the layers with just the Del key, you get inconsistent behavior.

I just saw this is pretty much documented in #396.

[crossrulz]

Yes and PR #398 was created to resolve it. I managed to find this bug while doing actual work.

02 Launch Test (LabVIEW 2025 Community Edition)

1. Launching from a VI --> all steps work correctly

2. Launching from a Control --> all steps work correctly

3. Launching from a Polymorphic VI --> all steps work correctly
   Comment after step 11. Double clicking on the icon does not cause the Icon Editor to open twice for me.

4. Launching from a Library --> all steps work correctly

5. Launching from a Class --> all steps work correctly

6. Palette Icon --> all steps work correctly

03 Templates

Main

4. Text is a bit confusing (I did not even know you could make folders!). Can we make it a bit more explicit that the directories "VI" and "test" should be created?

5. Don't really understand this step. What do you mean "library template"?

6. There is no VI->Frameworks, we did not create this in any previous step

7. same

8. Text is missing the extension, should be "Pyramid.png"

9. This file is not created

11. Not present

12. Not present

[neilpate]

Maybe I messed up in the Setup... I deleted all the files in the LabVIEW Data directory, which explains why the framework stuff was not present.

I have just installed 2026 and its now back, so I will try this again tomorrow.
