I have, in a number of places, code like this
txt := self stringValue asComposedText.
style := txt textStyle copy.
style ... (make some changes)
txt compositionWidth: anInteger.
txt style: style
In VW7.3.1 and before, this "worked". The text was reformatted
(wrapped, centered, rightFlushed ...) as specified. However, in
VW7.4.1 the last line above invokes "fitCompositionWidth" instead of
"composeAll", and the "fitCompositionWidth" sees the ivar "fitWidth" as true
so it resets the width to DefaultCompositionWidth, and the reformatting
doesn't do much since the width is now very small.
I can perhaps see that fitWidth defaulted to true, but if I change the
compositionWidth (second last line above), should that not be setting
fitWidth := false
???
The only way around this is to build the ComposedText using one of the
more complex
creation methods such as
ComposedText withText: aText style: aTextStyle compositionWidth: aWidth
which seems a bit of overkill???
