Hi,

I'm trying to change the Y Position of a text object. SetTextPosition seems to be broken in the latest build (11.06.2019), so does SetTextY.
I've no problem setting the X Position but the YPosition will not accept positive values correctly.
With a positive value of any number the text disappears.
I've tried with the example as well as my own code, adding in SetTextPosition to no avail. Here's the example:

Using your code, I set Y to 50 and get this:


I have heard there may be an issue with text rendering behind sprites on MAC (regardless of depth) - are you using a Mac?

I've just tested on Windows and all works. Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you know if there is any workaround for this or any other information on if there will be a fix?

I'm actually trying to use the command in a 3D scene, and it seems to work on Windows fine but not on macOS.

I can confirm this, it proper confused me when I first saw this happen, but the code still works on iPhones/iPads so I didn't worry too much about it

Well that's the main thing! My game's targeted for mobile initially anyway.
