Please link us to your exported project so we can take a look ourselves.

The "log" snippet was to do with a bug only in r81, so if you're on the latest (r84) that does not apply.

The exact size of your layout does not matter if you use the 'fullscreen (scale mode)' option!

Kyatric is right, WebGL does not actually have the ability to draw text. So we work around this by having text layered on top of the WebGL canvas.
You can work around it if you put your text in Sprites or use the Sprite Font plugin - any way you can make your text appear without using the Text object should work.

This message only appears if a layout tab has never been opened in the project.

My best guess is a graphics card driver bug. Try updating your driver.

Tokinsom Hmm. I thought about it and I think there may be a bug in WebGL mode where in some cases linear sampling is still used despite the project setting. Are you using any layers with a nonzero opacity or 'Force own texture'? I'll make a tweak for the next build (should be a beta release today) and see if that helps.

Ah, interesting find - IIDs were not updated when destroying instances. Thanks, fixed in next build.

Chrome 18 was recently released and would have silently updated, and it enables GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D by default. It's no longer an experiment, it's a feature now!

WebGL mode shouldn't appear blurry - it's actually the only mode you can control the sampling in (point vs. linear), you can't control that in Canvas 2D mode.

This is not a bug, it's by design. See the manual entry for Text:

ote if WebGL is enabled in project properties, due to technical limitations all Text objects appear on top of everything else in the game. For example, Sprites cannot be displayed on top of Text objects when WebGL is on, because the text is rendered to an overlay above the game. It is recommended to design your game so it is not necessary for other objects to appear on top of text objects, since turning off WebGL can reduce performance.

IE9 does not support WebGL, which is why it Z orders as you expect.

Have you read the manual?

We're planning to introduce directCanvas soon which should help improve mobile performance - maybe try again when we release that.

Oh, that's interesting - didn't know they included WebGL. That definitely makes it worth checking out, I'll give it a spin and see if I can come up with something.
