TextChatService UI's right edge sometimes cuts off part of a message

[Real_BenTheMiner]

The new TextChatService’s UI sometimes cuts off a message at the right edge.

Screenshot:

^ “car” is truncated to be “ca”
Had another case where it truncated part of the n in “in” as well, but I forgot to screenshot it. I’ve experienced this a couple of other times in the past as well.

Expected behavior

TextChatService UI should always display the entirety of a message without cutting off any part of it

Chat box scroll bar clipping text

The scroll bar clips the very edge of the text in the chat box: [image] This also happens without the scroll bar visible: [image] This causes the last character of that line to be hidden. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 Expected behavior The chat box should have proper padding to prevent the text inside from being clipped by the scroll bar.

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

TextChatService force is approaching and this still hasn’t been fixed yet. I’m concerned…

@be_nj @AliceLostInWonder Can we see this addressed some time soon? I recall 5+ duplicates of this report being filed over the past few months. It’s a well-known issue

If you can find those reports (I couldn’t), I’ll link them in the original post.

I plan to roll out a fix to this next week.

EDIT: I’ve now rolled out to desktop, ios, and android users

I am glad to hear that, though if I had to be honest, I hoped and expected for a simple bug to get a fix quite relatively fast having first being reported since June 2023 (the bug definitely appeared earlier) in the TextChatService being the default for new experiences announcement post. It’s disappointing that this took 2 years to fix, but I guess better late than never.

Edit: You responded to it that time having claimed to forward it to the team, however it never got fixed

Finally fixed 2 years after my initial complain

Definitely took 3 clicks max (or one line of code) to change the property and the fix is done within one release

@LvieReal

Where did you view that page? Is it public?

[JuanGamerPlayz_RBLX (Juan)]

Check out #updates:release-notes, they publicly post release notes about what is being in the pending line or, of course, released!

One problem though when I checked the “RCTScrollView”, vertical scrollbar inset is set to “Always” which means it will offset even when scrollbar isn’t visible, it should be set to “ScrollBar”

It’s not intended right?

[be_nj (benjj)]

depends. if its set to scrollbar, it could cause text to jump around when the scrollbar becomes visible which doesnt feel great in this context
