String constants resized - Bug

[TCPlomp]

I have an issue with one specific VI, it I open that with LabVIEW 2009 SP 1, a lot of the string constants get resized until only the first character is visible:

I am not sure why it happens with this specific VI, but I can tell it's quite annoying to debug this kind of code.

Is this Winodows Vista or Windows 7 ?

I have seen bad font mangling happening on my Windows 7 machine.

I ask because the size of the "path property" node looks like what I have seen on Windows 7.

I have encountered this very annoying behavior when opening LV8.x VIs with LV2009 on WXP.

Windows 7, but to clarify, the font is not mangled. It looks like their is a 'Resize to text', witht the text length set to '1'.

Yes, this is exactly what I have encountered with WXP. A "Size to text" was needed to resize the constant in order to see the whole string again.

Hi TCPlomp,

In order to file a correct CAR (Corrective Action Request) for this kind of bugs, we need to have a VI to reproduce this issue.

Can you please post your VI, so we can verify and reproduce the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Peter,

could you contact me via email?

Thanks,

I got a FPCPP error on lin 944 when using 'resize to text' and afterwards I could not start LabVIEW (have to try a reboot).

I've seen this occasionally too on LV 2009, win XP.

I don't use either the JKI state machine or the case selector plugin (which Ton suspected of elsewhere), so I doubt those are the cause for this.

[TCPlomp]

And I have seen it with a numeric constant.

Instead of showing it's value 1000, it only showed 0.

I didn't even know it was possible to resize a numeric constant.
