  Closing, see the bug report requirements.

  Can't reproduce: opened a new project, added a text object, then duplicated the layout. The first text object has UID 0 and the second UID 1. No .capx provided so cannot investigate further. Note the r241 download link is right there in the website footer.

  Looks fine here, can't see any visual issues at all while panning and scrolling around. Have you tried updating your graphics card drivers?

  Nothing we can do about a copy-pasted error message I'm afraid, we need a .capx and steps to reproduce to be able to investigate, so closing.

  This is really the same issue as your other reports: the platform behavior does not work well at such tiny scales, because its built-in tolerances work on the scale of 1-2 pixels, which is a significant fraction of the size of the object.

  In this case it probably falls down the hole and simultaneously tries to move right in to the wall. When it finds it can't move in to the wall, it moves backwards out of the wall, on a scale of pixels. It can't find anywhere until it moves all the way back to the left.

  Closing, please provide a .capx and avoid reporting bugs involving third-party addons. If the bug does not happen with the SCML object, it's probably due to that and you should report it to Brashmonkey.

  Closing as won't fix. Exactly adjacent objects count as overlapping in the C2 engine, so the initial positioning causes the platform behavior to think "I'm stuck wedged inside a solid, try to get me out of here". It resolves this by moving it a few pixels away, which given the tiny scale of this project, is a noticeable distance.

  Closing as won't fix. The problem is you use a tiny object with a very low jump strength of 16. This means when you jump assuming 60 FPS it steps about 0.26 of a pixel - so small that the next tick the platform behavior still detects itself as being on the floor. It has to have some tolerance threshold for the various collision algorithms it uses to work. If you set the jump strength to something higher like 50 it works fine.

  I don't think we can change this without breaking other platform games. You'll have to just use larger objects (given you use 8x8 objects, a 1px tolerance in the collision detection algorithms is quite large relative to the object size), or a higher jump strength.

  Thanks, should be fixed in next build.

  Closing as not a bug: rgb() returns a number, not a string. So passing your string set in a global variable doesn't work for the same reason you can't set the text color to the string "foo" - it's not valid to pass a string there.

  Unfortunately you can't specify an expression as the initial value of a global variable, but you could just make it a number and set it to an rgb() expression on start of layout.

  Nothing we can do unless you follow the bug report guidelines, closing.

  Multiplayer works in NW.js, so if you want an app that works as a server, export to NW.js, put it on a dedicated server, run it, log in as host, and leave it running. Anyone who joins the same room will now connect to your dedicated server. You can do the same with a browser tab too, but you might have trouble with Chrome suspending the tab if it's not in the foreground.

  It should work. Hard to say any more without a .capx. If it reproduces in a new project, please file a bug report.
