Using textedit with jit.gl.text - typewriter emulation - help
there is a little patch to write some text which is reproduced live on a (second) video screen - character by character incl. corrections. It works fine BUT there seems to be a limited amount of characters (approximately 980) when using the textedit. If I use the jit.textfile object there is no limitation.
Moreover strange behaviour occurs if you do Carriage Return in combination with Space.
Maybe there is someone who can help me to find the error in reasoning.
Thanks!
for the space + CR problems, make sure you test out the beta version of jit.gl.text and see if that fixes the problems:

Hi Rob,
thanks for the reference to the beta version. But unfortunatly it doesn’t fix the problem. Neither the confusion when using space in combination with CR nor the limitation of characters when using textedit. Is there any other idea?
