problem with text wrapping

[alikim]

I have a textfield with autosize="left" and I move the textfield up and down to make a smooth vertical scroll.

The problem is that the word wrapping depends on the current vertical coordinate of the textfield, so when I scroll it the text jumps forth and back between two different wrapping options.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here is an example, after the text appears, press and hold the purple box at the right bottom.

It happens only for some combination of text and font used, so hopefully you will see what I mean.

The example was quickly carved out of a bigger program, the main idea is to make a smooth pixel-by-pixel scrolling of a text field.

I tried your example and after I did mine it jumps anyway

The best results I've got when set TextField Property use Device Fonts

Attaching my working simplified example

So, do you know why does it happen or how to fix it?

Unfortunately, I can not use device fonts.

I did My own scroll using masking

It's not the problem with scrollRect or any other way of masking, the text will jump around even when you just change its .y property;

Use a BlitMask to scroll the text.
