Drawing text incorrectly placed after coming out of Fullscreen

[mdotedot]

Build: 9863

To reproduce:
* Scene with a couple of actors with this drawing event: 
 draw [hello] x: 1 y:4

* The scene I used had the drawing actor on each corner of the scene.

Mac Publishing
* Settings: Desktop
* Scale : 2X
* Scale Mode: Scale to Fit (Letterbox)
* Scales All Scales
* Start in FullScreen

FullScreen = OK
When Ctrl-Apple-F (out of fullscreen) it should go to the 2x scale which it does for the actor but the drawing only works ok for the top-left-actor.

How does that compare to using the toggle full screen block?

The same with toggle full screen block when using on button

In my testing, if the engine scale changes when going in and out of full screen, then the text looks fine.  If the scale doesn't change, then the text looks off until I change the text that is drawn.  This might be the same issue reported here with the draw buffer not changing when it should: http://community.stencyl.com/index.php?issue=1156.0

Yes, you are correct.

When I display a counter as the text on the actor. And the counter gets increased it is drawn correctly. Both in fullscreen as in out-of-fullscreen

But my text-buttons don't change the text! So how can we force a draw?!

[rob1221]

Make a boolean attribute that is set to true when you toggle full screen.  Then when drawing, check if the boolean is true and then draw an empty space on a separate line just after your other text.  That will force the buffer to redraw without having any visual change to your game.

Maybe you could  try to empty drawnStringCache in https://github.com/Stencyl/stencyl-engine/blob/6e63589e6aebc970558400db8a895301df0cbee9/com/stencyl/graphics/G.hx to force to redraw ?

I'm not noticing anything wrong here, following the same steps, and testing in a way that allows the scales to change as well.

I'll need a sample game with the issue reproduced, otherwise I'll presume this to be fixed.

Confirmed to have been fixed on 9927 MacOS

Confirmed to have been fixed on 9927 MacOS

Actually the issue still exists for me in 9927. To avoid it I need to draw the boolean "fullscreen enabled" far off the screen, as Rob1221 suggested.

As I said, I'll need a sample game with the issue reproduced. I saw nothing wrong following the steps mdotedot described.

Just sent you a msg.
Cheers!

I have this issue as well on a Mac. I've created a test game to show the problem. What is the best way to upload the file to you?

[Justin]

Bombini sent me a test game that made the problem obvious. I've fixed it in b9941.

I'm still having the issue. I'm testing to Mac & am using bitmap fonts. I put up a video last week here:
http://community.stencyl.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=56983.0;attach=59715

If you'd like to see my stencyl backup file, let me know.

[Justin]

I'm not sure what's happening in your video, but it doesn't look like the problem I just fixed. Could you make a new issue with the sample project attached? (You can make the issue private.)

[PixylWorld]

I created a new issue with a description and link to the .stencyl file.
