  Your project uses the third-party MagiCam plugin. As per the guidelines, can you submit a .capx that reproduces the problem and does not use any third-party addons at all?

  Our next stable update is scheduled in ~6 weeks as per usual. Please report any issues you find in beta releases, since it helps ensure the problem is really fixed by the next stable release.

  Closing as by design/wont fix - the intent of "crop" mode is just to roll out the viewport in all directions compared to "Off" fullscreen mode. If you compare the two then you can see it's keeping the text in the same place in the overall browser viewport. Arguably this isn't useful, but I think the "crop" fullscreen mode was a mistake and I've considered removing it (it's only really there for backwards compatibility). The letterbox or scale inner/outer modes are more useful in practice I think. Still if this issue bothers you, just position objects with events using the viewport expressions.

  This should be fixed in the next build (r191): it renames data.js to data.json so the WACK should not try to validate it as Javascript code. Closing, please file a new report if any issues persist in r191 when it's out.

  Thanks for the .capx and steps to reproduce, good find. This should be fixed for the next build.

  Closing, please follow the bug report guidelines: this project uses three third-party addons (Time Manager, Gleam and Rotate), and we require bug reports use no third party addons to eliminate them as the cause of the problem. Also the .capx is 25mb which makes me think it's not a minimal .capx demonstrating the problem. If you have a lot of events it usually ends up being a mistake in the events and not a bug, so please only provide a minimal example that unequivocally demonstrates C2 has a bug.

  I can't see any problem, I followed your steps to reproduce and every time the text looks identical. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong. Did I miss something?

  I don't have a Moto G to test here, but I noticed in the code in some cases it could have flipped the value of beta (if Cordova is returning a value and the browser doesn't support it). I can't verify this fixes it, but please test r191 when it's out and let me know if it's corrected.

  Closing as a problem with the host. You shouldn't use free hosts like Google Drive for hosting games, since they are pretty flakey and will have low bandwidth limits before they block the files.

  I am asking you to test it to help identify whether the problem is specific to your system or not. All these questions I am asking you are 100% routine and I generally ask them on every single bug report.

  It may be worth testing Chrome Canary and Firefox Nightly as well, since I think both browsers have made improvements lately.

  For anything more than passing strings to eval(), which is all the Browser object does, you should use our Javascript SDK. Also this is not the right place to ask general Javascript questions, there are other better sites for that (e.g. StackOverflow).

  Closing, please provide a minimal .capx with precise steps to reproduce (e.g. which objects you choose when replacing them). We need to know how to exactly follow what you are doing. Also to work around the anti-spam link blocker, just remove the http:// and parts of any links.
