Weird Text Behaviour

Text weirdly breaks within words when scaling a textfield. It’s plain text with no editing or line breaks, however text breaks within words or lines.

Anyone else having this problem?

Same issue here! Happens when I copy/paste text from Jira. Tried copy / paste, paste as text, copy as text, pasting text in different apps in an attempt to strip off any formatting. Only solution I found was to type out text by hand. :(

Retyping it by hand fixed the issue for me. Does seem tied to copy/paste from other platforms.

Experienced the same thing today and I’ve found if that I copy the text in my slack chat for example and then copy again from there and paste back to my text content then it fixes. my guess is that there’s some embedded format in the text that overrides the text settings.
