UIScale does not apply scale to text strokes in rich text

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a TextLabel that has any text and a text stroke applied using RichText
2. Insert a UIScale object into the TextLabel and set it to any value (e.g. 0.5 or 2)
3. Observe how the text stroke’s thickness is not scaled with the rest of the TextLabel

Expected Behavior

The text stroke’s thickness should be scaled with the rest of the TextLabel

Note: Other RichText tags like font size do scale properly, so it should be expected that text strokes have the same behavior.

Actual Behavior

The text stroke’s thickness is not scaled with the rest of the TextLabel


Workaround

Using UIStroke objects instead will scale properly, however UIStroke objects do not work on TextLabels with RichText enabled, so if you need to change part of the text’s color or other properties, you cannot work around this issue.

This should now be fixed in the latest update. RichText stroke scales with UIScale in the same way as UIStroke with UIScale. Please let us know if you continue to have issues and we can investigate further!

While you’re here, are there any plans to add UDim to UIStrokes? So we can have scaling for different resolutions?

Thanks!
