SetText on TextMeshProUGUI - Text Scrambles it.

Hello,

I am using TextMeshPro 1.3.0 and Unity 2018.3.3f1 when i tried to set TextMeshProUGUI.SetText with a long string, i get this behaviour:

But when i try to write something multilined it draws without a problem.

Does this behaviour a bug?

 

The likely culprit of this behavior are char(13) Carriage Return contained in the text that you copy / paste in.

This would result in the caret / pen drawing position being returned to the start of the line and characters following the Carriage Return potentially drawn over each other.

This is the correct behavior for carriage return which is a control character. Most of the time, a Carriage Return is followed by a LineFeed char(10) which is another control character to move down a line.
