Larger text object contains less text...

Hi, i am new qlikview an ran into this behaviour:

I made a text object containing an expression.

I copy-pasted it and gave it different widths.

The larger one contains less text!

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks

I would have written it like this:

='Line 1' & chr(10) & ''Line 2' & chr(10) & 'Line 3'

The font type doesn't change anything but I get other weird behaviours:

- Making the font smaller sometimes shows less text

- Making the font larger shows more text

Hi Nick,

seems to be a strange behaviour (or even a bug) when using the newline-char (\n). As a workaround replace the "\n" with a real newline similar to this:

='This is the first line \n' & 'and this second'

-->

='This is the first line

' & 'and this second'

It looks a bit funny but it should help.

Indeed, it looks like a bug but your workaround works perfectly.

Thanks
