Reffering to this line in the manual:
TEXT.scale can lead to wrong clipping of scaled texts under some circumstances. Fixed in A6.41.
I'm using 6.60 and still have the issue of the text clipping before it's off the screen. The manual says that this issue is fixed in a6.4, but it's not, and I'm pretty sure it may still be an issue in A7.
I get the problem when my text is scaled below 1 when the text is not even touching the bottom of the screen. In case you're curious of the code, here it is:
//////Text Definition
string contstr1[40];
text p1conttxt
{
string = contstr1;
layer = 2;
font = font_white;
flags = filter, center_x, center_y;
}
//////This is what scales and positions the text (it's set so
//////that the text is automatically repositioned and rescaled
//////in any resolution)
p1conttxt.visible = on;
p1conttxt.pos_x = camera.pos_x + (camy*(256/1024));
p1conttxt.pos_y = camera.pos_y + (camy*(700/768));
p1conttxt.scale_x = camx / (1024*1.5);
p1conttxt.scale_y = camy / (768*1.5);
str_cpy (contstr1, "Continue?\n10");
I have observed this problem for quite some time, but didn't know that this was the issue until just now. I tested it being scaled and not being scaled, the unscaled version caused absolutely no problems while in the scaled version the "10" was cut off even though it wasn't close to the bottom of the screen.
I know it's been said that there won't be another version of A6 (which I think should be reconsidered) but, this should help if the problem still exists in A7.
