Chat and chat bubbles sometimes get cut off and don't show whole sentence

I had this issue as well, but I was able to fix it after going into the BubbleChat script.

To fix this, play your game in studio and clone the bubble chat script from chat into the chat in studio.

After you have done so, all you have to do is edit line 56 of the script from this:

To this:

Basically just change the 10 to a 12 and you should be golden!

Works for dialog too.

Thank you for fixing my tutorial bots!

Do you have a game with a donations board in?

This happens in every game with bubble chat I play. I have to limit my sentences or re-write the omitted portion. An incredible nuisance.

That’s not a fix, that involves the new bubble chat. This bug report is in regards to fixing the old one.

Exactly, Roblox is not planning on fixing the old one, they planned on making a new one where it is fixed. That is their way of fixing it.

That’s not a fix, that’s a workaround. 2 very different things.

Well soon enough, the new bubble chat will replace the old one, which will make this no longer a problem.

Removing things instead of trying to fix (NOT replace) them is always a step in the wrong direction.

Don’t tell me that, tell Roblox. Also, I am saying that it probably isn’t worth fixing since it will be replaced soon.

Even Roblox removes the Old Bubble Chat, The Player Chat would still cuts off with new bubble chat though

I have this same issue in my games when copying the Chat Module, I recently tried enabling Bubble Chat on the Chat instance but then it just never shows a bubble at all even if I remove the old module.

I don’t see the fix anymore, and I still have the problem with an NCP chat. I’ve noticed this in other games using the same NCP chat system as me.

Yeah, this bug is back. It looks like it might be an issue with text metrics, because I’m even seeing it cut things off in regular chat. Bubble chat is worse; it’s not just a single word, but an entire line sometimes.

Sorry, i’m a bit late to the party, but this is a HUGE problem in my game. There are npc chat bubbles are are essential for gameplay using chat:Chat() and the player may only see them once. They always seem to be cut off if they are longer than a certain length no matter how I change around the string. I noticed roblox has a new (kind of ugly imo but that’s a topic for another day) chat bubble design that seems to fix this problem (mostly) but it only shows up in new games and mine was created before they changed this so it’s not effected (I guess that’s a bad thing?).


(This is supposed to say “I’m trying to start an art show but I don’t have any paintings”, “Say, do you have any, I can give you something in return”, and the last one is fine.)

I think the new bubble chat is suppose to fix this. I have seen this issue in many games I play, and it’s made progressing in them impossible.
