SMARTFORM ERROR - Part of Text is cutting down after SPACE

Question

Hi,
I have made a simple smartform just for test purpose.
I included a simple template in the main window which has 5 mm height and 3 cm width.
In the template there is one text element, and 1 included a constant text:
LABEL: YYYYYYYY
If i see the print preview, it displaying correctly.
BUT!
If I change the constant text to longer, to test what happens if the field is longer than the available size to display:
LABEL: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
In the print preview this will be shown:
LABEL:
So it means that those Y's are just cutting down.
If I replace the longer version of the text to:
LABEL:_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
In the print preview I can see as many characters as it can display, so some Y's are not printing:
LABEL:_YYYYYYYY
Can somebody tell me if I use spaces, how to avoid to cut the remaining text and display as many characters as it can like with underscore character?
This is a very strange and buggy behaviour.

Answer 1

Hi
I suppose I depends on the logic used in order to print a text in an area smoller than text
It seems it always tries to write fully the words, that means if the text has many words, the smartform writes the first words (on the left) fully and truncates the remaining words, if the text has one word only, smartform write the part of it can be contained.
So if you insert
A) LABEL: YYYYYYYY
There are 2 words:
LABEL:
YYYYYYYY
Both words can be contained so smartform writes both of them
B) LABEL: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
There are 2 words:
LABEL:
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
The second word should be trucated, so the smartform writes the first only
C) LABEL:YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
There is only one word, so smartform writes only the character can be contained in the window
