Use the textbox component
The textbox component has been around for a while, but now is the time to start using it instead of the old text component.
Text components sometimes clip off the top or bottom of the text. In English this is rarely important, but in some languages it makes the text unreadable.
New line characters in Excel spreadsheets result in a double line gap online in text components but are fine in textbox components.
Local
Online
Note that the letters themselves are also different when run locally. These two components are both Arial at .1 height units.
Textbox components have more options. The following are not available in text components.
- Editable
- Anchor
- Flip vertical (local only)
- Overflow options (visible, scroll, hidden)
- Fill color
- Border padding / color / width
- Speech point (local only)
- Line spacing (local only; works differently for border and fill)
- Bold / Italic
- Alignment
