hey @ayodele, there isn’t built-in support for this. have you tried subclassing Label to add this functionality?

[ayodele]

That's what we decided to do incase. Thanks.

[ayodele]

I noticed a behavior with the new lineSpacing.

1. The calculated height from TextMetrics is wrong.
2. If there's a letterSpacing above 1f the specified size is ignored. Is that the intended behavior??

[Nick]

do you mean lineSpacing or letterSpacing? i assume you mean a lineSpacing > 1f.

[ayodele]

lineSpacing actually

[Nick]

hmm. should work with values greater then 1f. sounds like a bug. does text with this lineSpacing render properly though?

i’ll try to repro when back in town early next week.

[ayodele]

So lineSpacing renders properly no matter the value.

The issue is if you set your label size height to like 50, and have a large text with a lineSpacing greater than 1f. When rendering, the defined height of 50 is ignored, the calculated height from applying lineSpacing is used.

[Nick]

even if you tell the Label to not fit its height: set fitText to a set without Dimension.Height?

[ayodele]

Ah. That does it.

[ayodele]

Quick question. fitText works without specifying size??

[ayodele]

Like Views won't render if they don't have a size

[Nick]

it defaults to fitting both width and height. since that’s likely what you’d want for a Label.

[ayodele]

Noted.

[ayodele]

What about textMetrics.size ? It returns the same height for 1f and > 1f

[Nick]

that sounds like a bug. are you specifying a width? it assumes a single line of text if no width is provided.

[ayodele]

Yea, I'm specifying a width.

[Nick]

k. i’ll investigate early next week.

[Nick]

and the width is narrower than the text? to ensure it will wrap?

[ayodele]

Yes. I tested with a large Lorem ipsum

[Nick]

Confirmed this is a bug. Will be fixed in the next release.
