I am just a beginner. but while I am studying about text, just noticed that

>> text(stringdata, x, y, width, height);

the width and height setting doen't work properly.

for example, when I set the width and height at 150 and 280 in 300 by 300 window
size, a simple sentence goes over 150 width.

Check that please. thanks.

are you using release 0148? if so, please include an example sketch that
shows the problem in the bug report.

if you're using 0135, you should be using 0148, which fixes this problem.

This problem is more extensive than that....


here is an example:

String s = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
text(s, 15, 20, 70, 70);
text("ouch", 15, 20*10, 70, 70);

which prints to the screen:
The quick
brown fox
jumped over
the laxy dog



ouch
brown fox
jumped over
the lazy dog


In short, when using a bounding box with text the function, it retains it's last values.


I was able to get past this issue poorly by filling the buffer with spaces:
textSize(12);
String s = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
text(s, 15, 20, 70, 70);
text(" ",0,0);
text("ouch", 15, 20*10, 70, 70);

which yeilds:

ouch

lazy dog

which speaks for itself ;)

... and yes 148

already fixed for 0149.
