Text formatting in the text component

I am very new to Psychopy.

I added a questioner through the text component and an excel. Standard. However, one of my questions is weirdly formatted, in a way that the last word is way below the rest of the sentence (see screenshot). The questions are in Hebrew, RTL.

I tried to edit the excel, play with height and width settings, but nothing works. It is kind of detached from the line. It is not the longest question either. Also, if anyone knows how to fix a very common issue in RTL languages of punctuation marks being in the beginning of the line, it would be very helpful as well.

Dear Anna,

Did you try messing around with the text wrap settings in psychopy? Try making it extremely large so all the other text is on one line. (Text Properties→ Layout → Wrap Width)

Also, double check your excel file to make sure there isn’t any extra spaces that would increase the length.

Hello!

Thank you. I already did this and double checked everything before posting here.

Did it still start a new line with that last word? As in, was all the text on one line (trailing off the screen) and that last word still on a separate line?

If this new line problem only occurs with a comma at the start of it, I think your CSV formatting for RTL language is getting incorrectly read by psychopy, so it thinks that the comma needs to start a new line? I am not familiar with RTL formatting but I know this has been an issue in the past.

Maybe @TParsons can shed some light?

One of the other fixes I have suggested in the past for non-standard text formats, is to create the instructions on something like powerpoint (or similar program that you know works properly with your text format) and export that as an image. Then use that image to present your questionnaire prompts.
