I’m wondering if this is a known bug or if I discovered a hidden awesome feature to make your texts unreadable…
My code is really simple. I have a string and a textmesh.
I increment the text mesh.text with a simple coroutine like this:
public IEnumerator AnimText(TextMesh textmesh, float chartime){
string displaytext="";
for(int i=0;i<text.Length;i++){
string s=text.Substring(i,1);
displaytext+=s;
textmesh.text = displayText;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(chartime);
}
}
The fancy thing is the bug only shows up on recent android phones (android 4.2) and not every time ( I have more than 50 scenes with these animated titles and only 2 or 3 are misbehaving this way, and once again not every time and only on android 4.2 ).
I’m searching on different directions now :
-
maybe the string.substring() behave weirdly on new android versions. maybe the string should be encoded to UTF or ASCII or whatever.
-
maybe a serialization problem (strings are serialized in the class on the scene, they are not saved as prefabs or stored in some xml extern file)
-
maybe a coroutine problem?
I’m in a hurry cos i’m releasing this app on unity/flash, android and ios and the client (MINI brand as you can see, my bad 
want the project to be released in a couple of days.
I had a lot to do to make all the versions behaving almost the same way and show the same overall quality (sound/graphics/functionalities). This is the only remaining bug on all these platforms and I can’t figure out where the problem comes from and how to fix this.
That’s why I submit the fancy problem to your brilliant minds.
