- UI element scale and position are wrong in project build when DRS is changed with HDR and Software Dynamic Resolution enabled
Resolution Note:
The reported behavior is by design.
The original text contained both Carriage Return (CR) (\r) and Line Feed (LF) (\n). Deleting the LF leaves the CR in the text and as such since Carriage Return's function is to return the carriage to the start position of the line, the text is overwritten. Carriage Return does not add a new line.
I realize that text containing control characters (which are not visible) makes it hard to understand / decipher these types of behavior. At some point I do plan to add a mode where these control characters will be visible in the Text Input Box which should help alleviate this type of confusion.
