TextMeshPro: problem with Content Size Fitter and bold-tag

Hallo,

I have a dynamic dialog box in the game, with a text (TMProUGUI) and a button. I change the height of the box depending on the TMProUGUI's height. As I want a maximum height I put the TMProUGUI in a Scroll View, and to change the scroll view's content's height I use a Vertical Layout Group and a Content Size Fitter. (It doesn't work without a Vertical Layout Group.)

This leads to the specific problem that text with bold tags add a new line at the end:




There is no problem if there is no bold tagged text. (I checked with various combinations.)



Is there a workaround for this? By the way, the font is ZillaSlab-Regular (ZillaSlab-Bold for the bold text).

Thanks,
ratking

 

Bold adds extra spacing which is defined in the Font Asset under Bold spacing. See if reducing that value down to 0 (default is 7) makes the problem go away?

I'll take a look at this on my end in terms of making sure bold if factored into the preferred values being reported.

 

Thanks, setting the Bold spacing to 0 indeed solved the problem.
