Rich text markup switching from italic to bold

[nextalks (nex)]

So i’ve been doing some experimenting with the rich text markup and found a bug. If a text label changes the text from Bold to Italic it still stays as Bold and the same is when switching from Italic to Bold.

In the image i sent above it looks like “15 or lower HP” is suppose to be in Italic but in the script

It isn’t in Italic. Whats going on here i have no idea. I’ve also recreated this bug in a small place.

Happens on Windows 10 as well.

Something interesting I noticed is that it doesn’t happen if you set the text to nothing, wait one frame, and then set the text:

Not a viable workaround, but maybe it’ll help with fixing it.

Hi @nextalks - thank you for the ticket! We are tracking this issue under the following dev forum post:

RichText bug - going from bold to italic or vice versa results in no visual change

When setting text on a TextLabel with RichText enabled, it is expected that the rich text tags will be displayed correctly.

Steps to reproduce: Create a TextLabel and put it in a ScreenGui under StarterGui Make sure RichText is enabled Set the text to something like: “Hello <b>world</b>” Then set the text to “Hello <i>world</…

Please post any additional details there and we will keep that thread updated. Thank you!
