Bug TextMesh Pro AutoSize uses Max size for Preferred Width

Hello,

I am using TextMesh Pro version 3.0.6 in Unity 2020.3.34f1 and there is a line of code within TMP_Text.cs
GetPreferredWidth() method that overrides the font size with the max auto size font size.

Line 3744 : float fontSize = m_enableAutoSizing ? m_fontSizeMax : m_fontSize;

So when using a content size fitter to handle the Width it always calculates based on that maximum instead of using the actual text size leaving the width much wider than the text itself.

I am wondering if this was intended to fix some other issue like and infinite loop of dirtied data or something? And if so is there any work arounds for this?

Thanks a bunch

 

Just coming across this too. To bad no answer.
