Text Mesh Pro is not displaying the text as I input it

Question

I have just started using text mesh pro and I am changing the text through script.

currentLevelText.SetText (currentTAKOWord.StageName + ": " + currentTAKOWord.Level.ToString ());

Where currentLevelText is the textmeshprogui object and stage name is mercury and level is 2 and in the inspector I get the result as this

However the actual text mesh comes out like this.

And the : 2 overlaps with mercury. I tried storing it in a temporary string and then displaying it but I got the same issue but when I used

currentLevelText.SetText ("Mercury: 1");

It appeared correctly in the game view.

Any help appreciated.

A simple Solution is to just make the Text Field wider,

or if that doesn't helps,

Maybe you should separate both Parts of the Text. The "Mercury: " Part is written in one Text Mesh and the "2" Part is written in a separate Text Mesh. Then, change the Script to only change the "2" Part and not the "Mercury:" Part. Then, you are able to Position both Text Meshes so that the "Mercury: " Part doesn't overlap with the "2" Part
