TextBounds signal does not fire upon parenting

[DarkContinuum]

Yeah, this happened with the recent UI update

This is similar to a snippet we found in the in-game chat code. If you’ve forked the in-game chat, you should update your fork to get the fix we did for this.

This exact snippet is an easy fix: Just use TextService:GetTextSize() instead of TextBounds .

What happened with this code is that, because AbsoluteSize doesn’t fire immediately during setting the Size property, HeldLock would be set to false , and the Changed event would fire at the end of the frame because it wasn’t observed in any other way. This means that at the end of the frame, the changed handler will run and then cause the update function to run all over again - causing the Update() function to run every frame when it wouldn’t have before.

I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon
