  • Sorry, you'll need to give more detail - what have you set the text to be, and what should it correctly display as?

    What are your AC/Unity versions, and what are your Menu's properties set to. Please share as much detail/screenshots as you can.

    The best way to tackle text dropping to the next line when scrolling is to rely on Text Mesh Pro, which comes with its own typewriter effect that can predict final character placement.

    To make use of it, convert your Menu to use Unity UI, import TextMesh Pro from the Package Manager, and update your UI Text components with TextMeshPro UGUI components.

    Next, add "TextMeshProIsPresent" to your project's Scripting Define Symbols box inside your Project -> Player settings. This will allow AC to make use of TextMeshPro - and show a new TMPro Typewriter effect? option inside your Subtitle menu's Label element.
