UMG Text Box positioning wrong

Development Programming & Scripting UI

Dear Epic Staff,

When I make a text box with some positioning in a canvas panel, the GUI doesn’t seem to show it right in the position section.

If I press ‘Play’ in the UMG editor, the positioning is correct. When I press ‘Play’ in the ‘Viewport’, the positioning is wrong. (Too far to the right)

Here are some screenshots with the problem:

I hope you can solve this problem in the next release.

Yours sincerely,

Hello Skittluier,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. What version of the engine are you using?
  2. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  3. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  4. Could you provide a screen shot of your anchor points and how they are set up for your text?

Hello Rudy,

  1. I use 4.7.6
  2. It is not possible to reproduce this issue in a clean project, so I think I did something horribly wrong.

I’ll close this issue for now.
