Hi,
so after updating an old plugin to Juce 6.1.2, I am going through the list of “breaking changes” (very glad that file is there now, it’s very useful!).
One of the things in there is this:
Version 5.4.5
=============
Change
------
The alignment of text rendered on macOS using CoreGraphics may have shifted
slightly, depending on the font you have used. The default macOS font has
shifted downwards.
Possible Issues
---------------
Meticulously aligned text components of a GUI may now be misaligned.
Workaround
----------
Use a custom LookAndFeel to change the location where text is drawn, or use a
different font that matches the previous alignment of your original font.
Rationale
---------
This was an unintentional change resulting from moving away from a deprecated
macOS text API. The new alignment is consistent with other rendering engines
(web browsers and text editors) and the software renderer.
I was just checking if this has any effect on my plugin, and noticed that is only when a text edit box goes into edit mode that I see a 1 pixel shift downwards.
That is not a big issue at all for me, but then I noticed that the same thing is happening on Windows, which I find quite strange. Below is what I’m seeing.
Is this supposed to happen? (from what I read, this should be a macOS thing only right? or did more change in the text placements in general?)
