Scribble fails to use the default font when using a specific custom color and trying to render a specific string

[mabechard]

I am having a problem where scribble renders text in a different font when I am using a specific custom color with a specific text value.

From my own debugging, this seems to be related to the name of the color, which I named c_ap and the value which I am trying to render, the string "3".

Changing either the value of the text or the name of the custom color fixes the issue, since the value is important, as a temporary fix I am going to rename the color.

The value of the color itself does not change the outcome of the bug.

This is what happens if I use c_ap:

This is what should be happening (what happens when I rename it to _c_ap:

Here is the content of my color config if that helps.

function __scribble_config_colours()
{
    static _colours = {
        //Duplicate GM's native colour constants
        c_aqua:    c_aqua,

Likely a GM bug though it's probably possible to write a workaround. I will need to obtain a copy of your project to verify this, however.

[mabechard]

I've been doing more debugging and the problem seems to be happening under many more circumstances.

[JujuAdams]

Still will need to see your project.

[mabechard]

Yeah I get that, but my project is pretty big and I'd rather not share the entire codebase since its intended for commercial use. I eventually found a workaround by explicitly using draw_set_font to reset the font.

If this is not a one-of report and you'd like to do some more digging, we could arrange a live debugging call or I could make a stripped down build of the game and send it over but since this is probably a one-of report, there's a high chance the bug is in my own code so I will close the ticket.

We can always sign an NDA.
