Bug found with SplitText

[ElliotGeno 27 Likes (Newbie)]

While browsing your examples on codepen, I noticed SplitText has an issue with the last character of each word. Looks like it only translates it and doesn't transform its scale or rotation. Keep clicking the animate button and watch those specific characters at the ends.

 

 

Pretty much any character before a space gets messed up.

Actually every character with a space after the first line. And the last character of the first line.

Hello ElliotGeno,

 

I was testing that

See the Pen mvhak by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen

and i didn't see any issue with the last character of each word.

 

I tested on Windows 7 (PC) on latest Firefox and Chrome.

 

Are you seeing this on an Apple device and/or Apple OS?

Mac OSX on Chrome.

 

If you slow it way way down to like 4 seconds per character, you will see it easier. I will record something to show you.

Split Text Bug (Requires Flash)
 
It looks like it starts to animated and then about 80% of the way through it snaps to the final transform.
 
Also checked it in Firefox and Safari. Firefox doesn't skew like the others. Safari was the only one that looked correct in my opinion.

I really have no idea what you're seeing as wrong here. Everything appears exactly as I would expect, and I can't see any sort of jumping/snapping/untransformed characters at all. I'm using Chrome on Win7, but even your example video looks ok to me (besides the lower framerate)...?

 

EDIT: ok I finally understand what you're looking at now. It's really hard to notice in a lot of words but the L in HTML is definitely off. Still, it runs perfect in browsers for me and I'm not a mac guy so I don't have much to add.

 

As a random thought, have you tried removing the 'Asap' webfont?

It wasn't my example. This is an example that is given on Greensock's website.

 

 

Either way, it's a bug and I reported it. If it gets fixed, that's cool. If not I am not using it... So it doesn't matter to me much! Just thought people would like to know.

Sorry for the late reply - I tried this in every browser I have, on Mac and Windows and couldn't replicate that problem anywhere. Pretty weird, Elliot. It sure seems like it's not a bug in SplitText, but rather some funky bug in the particular browser or system you're on. I wish I had a better answer. If anyone else can reproduce this, please let me know.
