text() no longer working on 1.5.1 latest version

[processing-bugs]

Original author: mike.log...@gmail.com (June 24, 2011 15:32:51)

The following used to work on 1.2.0

text("Testing Message", 0, 160, 600, 18);

Now the position of the text is off screen, if I try:

text("Testing Message", 0, 160);

I can see part of the text at the left, but not the complete text.

I guess something changed on 1.5.1 that is preventing this to work correctly?

I can't reproduce a problem with either of those examples. Have you set textAlign() somewhere and forgotten about it? Can you provide an example of enough code that shows the problem? (i.e. there isn't even a 'size' command here, which you need to even see this text at all).

Thanks. I attached the complete sketch. I tested some examples and they all work, so I guess its something related to this sketch.

I can't set up a serial thing like this, I just need a small bit of code that can reproduce the problem.

You don't need a serial connection, as soon as you open up the program, it should start showing messages even without a serial connection.

I have, and it doesn't.

That's the problem, the code is there to show the message, in the previous Processing release, it would show the message as you start up the program. In the new release, it doesn't anymore. If I change the size of the text, I can see it off-screen. If I'm doing something wrong, do you mind helping me with this? As I tested everything and really can't get it to work again. :-( Thanks.

Again, the sketch does not run, because I don't have any serial devices set up. I can't even get to the point where you're having a problem.

If you can provide a small piece of code that reproduces the problem, I'm happy to look into it.

Oops, sorry about that. Ok, here's a new test that is direct and very simple. Again, it works on 1.5 but not on 1.5.1

The text doesn't fit inside this rectangle:
text("Testing Message", 0, 160, 600, 18);

Changing 18 to something higher works fine. The difference is probably that 1.5.1 might be using (or not using) the native version of the font since it's built in.
