TextService will return the wrong TextSize with non-default Fonts for a few frames upon triggering the AutomaticSize of a TextLabel with a non-default Font at runtime.

  • I’ve only managed to get this to occur by setting the CanvasPosition of a scrolling frame in the same container as the AutomaticSize TextLabel.
    • Update: This can also be triggered by simply indexing the AbsoluteSize of the AutomaticSize TextLabel
  • Invoking TextService at any time before triggering the AutomaticSize will prevent the bug from occuring.

This behavior occurs in-game too

Expected behavior

Nothing should have any impact on TextService’s core functionality

Major Update:

It seems that simply indexing AbsoluteSize of the AutomaticSize TextLabel will cause this behavior to occur.

Hi @Arctic_Vibes could you try replacing your calls to GetTextSize with the async version and verify if the intended behavior occurs?

The intended behavior does occur with GetTextBoundsAsync, but this report was primarily in regards to GetTextSize.
