GUI StaticText sometimes doesn't render

[dart_theg]

I'm adding a simple static text object and sometimes it just fails to render, more often than not when I disable the border. Is this a known issue? It's not being dropped or removed etc.

EDIT: Forcing something like text visibility or border draw to true on every frame seems to fix it, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Not an issue I'm familiar with (and I use lots of text elements). Only idea I have right now is that maybe you are clipping it by some parent element. But then changing flags would make no difference.

Sorry, I need an example for this to reproduce.

I've been using Irrlicht in my game engine so there is a slew of potential possibilities as to why this happens but I have no idea. For now I'll keep up my temporary fix and I'll come back if I resolve the issue by other means.

Can you reproduce it with a s single StaticText element? In that case you can set a breakpoint in CGUIStaticText::draw() once you see it happening and just step through to see what's going on.

Thought my first guess when I hear that changing an unrelated flag modifies behavior which shouldn't be affected is that you have some memory corruption going on in your application. In which case even debugging might not help. In that case you need divide and conquer - throw out code as much as you can until only the bug and nothing else is left. And I really wouldn't recommend going on by ignoring something like that as memory corruption can pretty soon drive you crazy with all kind of strange behaviors which make no sense.
