Hi,


If anybody can reproduce this I will transfer to bug section, but since it may be my unfamiilarity with the text tool, I'll start here.


On my set up this is very reproducible. It happens in tS 7.51 Model side but it doesn't happen with tS 6.6 using the same tool.


Activate horizontal text tool


Type a word mine was 3 letters long


Click text tool again try and type another word then I can only get another letter and the tool becomes unresponsive.


I have tried pressing or not pressing object icon between words but it doesn't seem to make any difference.


The same operation in tS6.6 gives no problems whatsoever

Make sure the Bridge is disabled, then try it again. Does that make a difference?

Ok, sorry this some glitch related to my computer at home.


I have tried the same with my work computer and cannot reproduce it irrespective whether the bridge is off or on.


The home and work computers are not so different in specs though, both Dell's one (home) Dimension P4 3.2 the other (work) Dell M70 Precision 1.7 MHz with mobile M processor

The main differences are in graphics card but both ar Nvidia


Graphics (home)

GeForce 6800 GTS 256 MB RAM direct X 9.0c compatible


Graphics (work)

Quadro FX Go1400 128 Mb RAM, direct X 9.0c compatible



Both 1 Gb RAM,

Both XP Pro SP2


I will further investigate the home computer now I have all clear with the work one.

Hi


I have a similar problem with the text tool. If I type at top speed I can get most of word on screen before the tool stops working.


As an example I just tried to type in 'truespace' but only got the 'tr'. This is using arial font size 20 on model side.


I am using ts 7.51
