UIScale breaks TextLabels with AutomaticSize inside of a ScrollingFrame

[synical4 (Synical)]

In my game, I use a UIScale to ensure that my UI appears the same on all devices and screens. I frequently make use of offset and other non-scale related properties to design my UI. I have some code that adjusts the UIScale.Scale property during runtime to account for this.

The UIScale is stored directly under the ScreenGui itself:

I have noticed that this system is sort of backfiring on me. Inside of a ScrollingFrame, I have two identical elements. Each are set up as follows:

Both have their AutomaticSize property set to Y. The TextLabel has TextWrapped enabled.

The text refuses to wrap sometimes, specifically when UIScale.Scale > 1. Please take a look at the images below, specifically at the purple and blue TextLabels on the right side.

Images of the issue

UIScale.Scale = 1

UIScale > 1 (Specifically, this Scale was set to 1.107. This may or may not cut it off on your screen.)

Here is a repo file of the UI in question. I have removed the extra elements that are completely unrelated. It contains the scrolling frame, the UIScale and the elements that are broken. The GUI can be found in StarterGui.MainGui.

The text cuts off as the UIScale.Scale property is increased to a value greater than 1.

If needed, I can DM the entire UI shown in the screenshots. I can also provide the code that rescales my UI in-game.

I believe we’re running into the same issue. I’ve reported quite a few bugs pertaining to AutomaticSize and its interactions with UIScale:

TextLabel with AutomaticSize and UIScale can cut off text, despite TextFits = true

When setting UIScale to specific values, TextLabels do not render all of their lines, and can cut off the last line. TextFits is still set to true, making it hard to detect whether the whole text is actually being displayed. [image] The above TextLabel has its text set to aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, and yet the none of the bs are visible, due to them being on the third line which gets cut off. We use UIScale extensively in our game, and as such this has been …

AutomaticSize text gets cut off, bounds calculated incorrectly

Small update: I found that it also breaks without UIListLayout When using a UIScale combined with a UIListLayout, and a TextLabel with AutomaticSize = Y, the text may sometimes be cut off, not displaying all the lines: [image] Left is a frame with UIScale in it, and right is a frame without UIScale (using the exact same sizes, setting Object.Size = UDim2.fromOffset(AbsoluteSize.X, AbsoluteSize.Y)) The left frame has its text preemptively cut off, not displaying all three lines as it should…

AutomaticSize behaves incorrectly with UIGridStyleLayouts and UIScale

With UIScale values below 1, frames which use AutomaticSize become increasingly larger and more offset from their actual bounds. [image] The above image has a gray container frame with white frames and a UIGridLayout inside. On UIScale.Scale < 1, the size of the gray container set by AutomaticSize becomes increasingly more incorrect: The above occurs specifically only with UIListLayouts, whose Wraps property is true and FillDirection is Horizontal: [image] Any other setting comb…
