[mac] Multiline Button Labels Rise to Top

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Other/Unlisted Maker

Having MDP 2 on an M1 Mac seems like a good idea for a Mac that has an external touchscreen monitor (which I don’t have). I have an M1 Mac Mini with OS 12.4. The little functionality I tested seems to be working alright.

After finding out how to set up the Midi interface between 2 virtual apps (Hauptwerk) on my M1 Mac Mini, I was able to load a layout I developed on my M1 iPad. I immediately noticed the labeling of many buttons (not all?) when tapped (with my mouse since I don’t have a touchscreen) were skewed upwards. And when tapped again went higher above the button. If I Quit and restarted, the labels were at their normal position, until tapped again, then went further askew.

The same issue occurred on new buttons added using the Mac.

I also found I couldn’t edit the label anywhere except at the end or by deleting the text and starting anew. It appears similar to an earlier problem in the iPad where the cursor didn’t show during editing. This seems to be an issue in buttons, labels, knobs, etc.

Thanks for this. We'll look into it.

easy to repro on Mac, thanks. Will fix.

The fix is coming to Beta as soon as Apple approves. However, AFAIK there is no TestFlight for Mac for said Beta, so... give us a week or two to get it to the App Store.

This problem has always been baffling and occurred on iPhone and iPad too, but inconsistently. Thanks to your report about Mac, we were able to repro consistently, hunt it down and squash it pretty easily. Big up and thanks!
