Dual Dialogue overlapping with following line when second dialogue piece is longer #101

Open Asix3 opened 4 years ago

Asix3 commented 4 years ago

Dual dialogue doesn't render properly if the second speakers' dialogue is too long. Try this:

FIRST SPEAKER
I've got something important to say!

SECOND SPEAKER ^
I've got something really really important to say to everyone! McDonald's has stopped serving all-day breakfast due to corona virus -- *this shit is __real!__*

First Speaker forgets what they were going to say, realizing how real things have actually gotten.

I confirmed on the Afterwriting online editor that this rendering issue exists there as well. Since fountain-atom uses Afterwriting to generate the PDF output, it would have to be fixed on their end.

I think it is related to https://github.com/ifrost/afterwriting-labs/issues/81. If you swap the first and second speaker, it renders OK.
