Dialogue tree scrolling timing issues

[PascalLadalle]

In the Dialogue tree example, when talking to the ant, the pause should be before the "I" is written, but it pauses after the "I".

Also, if you add bold tags to "quite", you'll notice two more issues:

1. bold is not compatible with italic.
2. the tags trigger delays (more obvious with two tags).

The wait command is supposed to trigger a delay. Can you share the project again please :)

The wait command triggers a delay, but not at the expected time. The pause occurs after the "I" is displayed, not before as it should. And format tags shouldn't trigger delays, I assume. Here's the project: Dialogue tree.zip

The problem with the tags is that they are seen by the scrolling logic as characters to increment.So while you are not seeing them rendered, they are actually being included in the scrolling.

I will try to fix that when we have a text clipping function in the bbcode extension.

The wait command being called before the I - it is strange, but I cant reproduce that issue with the project you attached at all.Are you testing with the latest gdevelop? Its possible that I fixed that already, but you are on an older version

The bold and italic tags combination issue is a problem in pixi-multistyled-text. Please raise an issue about it here: https://github.com/tleunen/pixi-multistyle-text

the tags slowing down scrolling issue is again something that needs to be tackled in the bbcode extension, not this. The bbcode extension needs to be able to handle clipping text to fix this cleanly. The dialogue tree extension doesnt care if we are giving to its scroller function bbcode or normal text, so its not very smart at how it increments it.

I described that in your other issue post about the dialogue tree, where you are actually talking about bbcode extension issues https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop/issues/1615#issuecomment-609101037

That's strange indeed. I experience the issue as well on the online editor: https://editor.gdevelop-app.com/?project=example://dialogue-tree-with-yarn It displays the 'I' and then makes a one second pause. I'm using beta 89.
