Hover text all on one line

I help manage an arcade and we have several different games from several different creators. The high score panels on all of the games (also rezzed by different people) have all switched to display the text all on one line. Previously the text was stacked. This is odd as its happening to all of the games. But tip jars near the games, the hovertext is displaying just fine.

We're unable to "reset scripts in selection' as when we try to do that,(after 'editing' the object) the option is greyed out.

Any idea? Is this a grid, sim, or object problem?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, floating text is broken, sadly

We are working away on the llSetText() bug. Indeed, a fixed server version of 1.23 has already been rolled out to the “Second Life Beta Server” channel of the Preview Grid."

I noticed this today on my huge-prims box. I was SURE that the text was stacked before, but looking at it now, it's all in one line. Newly rezzed items don't seem to have this bug, so it seems to be related to the abortive rolling restarts of last week.

Right, when sims restarted to new new version, line feeds in any prim text already displayed were destroyed. Those games will be stuck until someone reaches a new high score and the text updates, or the game rewrites it for some other reason.

hopefully they'll add a bit of code to the next deploy, that will re-load the linefeeds for things that can't be reset.

Something tells me that won't be possible, because if the linefeeds are destroyed in the prim properties, then the script itself needs to re-initiate the call to llSetText. If there's more than one call to it in the script, or if the script needs to process anything (e.g. a scores list) to produce the text, then the server has no way of knowing *how* to re-generate the text.

have had this in my shop too, funny enough it only affected 2/3 hovertexts ? , if you can, a simple script reset will fix it...

This is also a big problem too:

Zena Juran Says: "I personally have many, many prims with floating text. Since there is no need for me to change the text and the prims retain the floating text, I did remove all the scripts containing llSetText. I SINCERELY hope the “fix” does not require a script reset. I’d hate to have to spend the whole weekend installing scripts, adding new text, and then deleting the scripts again."

Prospero Linden Says: "Zena Juran, alas, the fix will not restore the newlines. The newlines got eaten. I’m very sorry about that. "

Crap, I did the same thing. Removed the scripts after setting the text, to reduce the script load.
