Text objects render as a black rectangle on Android starting from r477.

Text objects render as a black rectangle on Android starting from r477.

Tested versions:

- r476-3: OK

- r476-4: OK

- r477: Issue appears

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new empty project.

2. Add a default Text object.

3. Preview/export and run on Android.

4. The text is rendered as a black rectangle instead of displaying correctly.

The issue does not occur in r476-4 and earlier versions.

In 477 was WebGPU compatibility mode enabled. Try to set WebGPU from 'Auto' to 'No' in the project properties. Maybe that's the reason.

I just tested this and it works fine for me. I would guess there is either it's less obvious than you think, or it's a device-specific graphics driver issue (both common issues). I would really recommend you file an issue for any such problems, as we have a process designed to help us properly investigate and resolve reports like this - it is usually impossible to help from just a forum post like this.

Changing (Advanced Settings) > WebGPU from "Auto" to "No" solved the problem. Thanks to both of you.

It's still useful if you can file an issue, or at least share the platform information of the affected device here. With sufficient detail we may be able to work around the problem and prevent it affecting others. Again, please always file issues to our tracker instead of the forum - it makes the reporting process much better for both sides.
