    I created a standard Text component and pasted whats in the tmp component and it worked fine. Not sure whats going on. I have a script that's typing out the text, not sure why that would matter though, it's just adding a the next character every few frames.

    Most likely your text was copy / paste where you ended up with a Carriage Return char(13) in the text. Check the end of the line of text and you should notice the cursor hitting an invisible character. You can also check the string for this char (13).

    pretty late, but if you or anyone else wants to know, it's
    val = val.Replace("\r", "");

    Always be mindful of that Sneaky Carriage Return <CR> in the text ;)

    Another solution would be to just paste it in Notepad first and correct the Carriage Return there. :) Had the same issue after copy/paste some text from Illustrator.
