TMP 3.2.0-pre.4 incorrectly calculating line height when using <size> tag

Unity Engine
,
1

We recently upgraded to TextMesh Pro 3.2.0-pre.4,
and we immediately noticed some text not behaving correctly.

Upon further investigation, we found the culprit was the tag: if the modifier affects an entire line of text, the lines above and below it experience an improper line height (smaller than expected if the tag is reducing the text size, larger if the tag is increasing it).

You can see this behavior in action in the following image:

To clarify further: this affects size calculation used in ContentSizeFitter and XxxLayoutGroup, that now fail to properly accomodate text.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Inside a UI Canvas, create a new Panel
  • Add a ContentSizeFitter and set Horizontal and Vertical Fit to Preferred Size
  • Add a VerticalLayoutGroup and check “Control Child Size > Height”
  • Inside the Panel, create a new TMP UI Text
  • Set text to:
<size=30%>second line</size>
third line```
and notice how it fails to adapt correctly
- Set text to:
```First line
<size=30%>second line</size> normal size
third line```
and notice how it works properly

Bump

I manually submitted a bug report 5 days ago, I never got a confirmation email and it doesn’t show up on https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/

Is that normal?

I’m still speechless seeing how little Unity cares about QA.

We spot a bug, we find the steps to reproduce it, no one cares.
Forum threads are ignored, bug reports don’t go through, probably due to some other bugs.

If it were the first time something similar happened, I’d be still willing to help and investigate… but it looks like things just got worse and worse since Unity 2017.

I am pretty sure the creator of TMP is not working on tmp anymore so it might be harder to get answers :frowning:

Hi @Menion-Leah ! Thanks for logging the issue, it is extremely helpful to us. Can you paste the ticket number, I’ll have a look and see if I can help get it unstuck.

Thanks for your help, @HugoBD-Unity !

Unfortunately, I never got any ticket number: I tried twice, last time was yesterday, never got any email back (yep, I checked spam folder).

Unity 2020.3.46f1, Help > Report a Bug…

The report itself shouldn’t be critical, though: there’s no need to attach a project since it can be reproduced with the very few steps detailed in the second post here.

Apologies - upon re-checking I noticed the email was actually received, with a significant delay, in the spam folder.

Request ID is IN-40596

They requested more info from my end - I’m going to submit them and I’ll keep you posted in this thread.

Thanks @Menion-Leah ! I’ll keep an eye on it

Hi @HugoBD-Unity ,
I just noticed you closed the issue with a “Won’t fix” status, providing a somewhat cryptic explanation in the resolution note:
Ensure PreferredHeight handles various line height correctly

Can you please elaborate more? I don’t get how this is related to the bug I submitted and has been successfully reproduced as a regression. Thanks.
