Anchoring text on Pavlovia

Online experiments

Hello, I have an experiment that works perfectly locally. I moved to Pavlovia. There is one issue that I can’t fix:

I have a bunch of texts and reading comprehension questions. I use standard Textsim for the stimuli. However, even though they are all left aligned perfectly, anchoring of the text still changes depending on the length of the text:

I tried to set 1.0 with Height for WrapWidth. It works perfect locally, but it doesn’t work on Pavlovia. I changed wrapwidth to several values, the function itself works, but texts are still center anchored (I think). I tried something like .anchorHoriz = “left”, but it gave an error on Pavlovia.

I use loops, could that be the reason?

I would recommend that you use textbox components rather than text for improved alignment and anchoring
