Bug [CASE 1176895] TextField issue when using formatting tags

When a TextField has `white-space: normal` and is placed inside a container with `flex-wrap: wrap` the text selection stops working: https://i.gyazo.com/3668db8a0d1be5bd504ead467bee21a7.mp4

Is this a known bug (I'm running under Unity 2019.2.0)?

 

Actually, it appears the issue is connected with text formatting tags. Eg, when a `<i></i>` present in a text field (no matter the flex-wrap option), text selection and layout breaks.

 

I've submitted a bug report (case 1176895).

Here is a reproduction project: https://github.com/Elringus/TextFieldIssue

 

I've got a response from the QA stuff recently, stating that the issues:

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...eld-size-is-changed-when-using-rich-text-tags
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-was-clicked-when-whitespace-is-set-to-normal

are now closed and won't be fixed, because "it is a low priority defect and there are more pressing issues at the moment".

I'm the developer of a quite popular asset on the store (https://u3d.as/1pg9) and those issues are really critical for the users:

I can't just tell my customers that Unity decided they don't care to fix this.

Can you please reconsider your decision? @uDamian @QA-for-life

 

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Can you please also reconsider the other one (regarding the rich text tags)? I do get that there are more pressing issues and not expecting it to be fixed soon, but closing the issue with a "won't fix" is like denying the existence of the bug.

My use case is a visual editor, where user can input text to be printed in-game. The text can contain formatting tags (color, size, etc). Afaik, that's a completely normal usage scenario for a TextField, yet it messes the field's size, making it unusable in some cases. The fact that some plain text could have such side-effects on the layout is rather disturbing on its own.

 

Awesome, thank you very much!

It's still displaying as "won't fix" for me, though: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...eld-size-is-changed-when-using-rich-text-tags Has it been added as a new issue?
