Question by nyonge · Jun 19, 2015 at 05:17 AM · uiinputtextinputfieldtext input

UI InputField text sometimes invisible?

Sometimes when I change the text in an InputField in the UI, the text goes completely invisible? Any idea why this might be occurring? The text is set to "Best Fit" and can shrink down to 10 point (it normally floats around 140pt so it'd have to be a LOT of W's before it got that small).

It mostly happens if I change the text all at once, through code, rather than typing it in myself.

If "It mostly happens if I change the text all at once, through code, rather than typing it in myself.", please, copy-paste the code where you change the content of your input field.

It's literally just

 CustomizationPetName.text = _petNameUpdate;

Where _petNameUpdate gets pulled from a list of a few hundred random names. I THIN$$anonymous$$ it's something to do with the "Best Fit" rendering, so I've disabled that. Not sure if that's fixed it, testing it now.

I have never had this problem but I would suggest using a text field if you are going to add text through a script. In general, I noticed text fields tend to have less bugs.
