Truncating text reduces the character spacing about truncat HOT 8 CLOSED

I can confirm it's working correctly for me now. Thanks!

Hi thanks for reaching out about this issue! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue at all :( which makes me think its either a Sketch bug or more likely a MacOS bug. Does restarting your computer help at all? The fact that Sketch doesn't report any character spacing changes doesn't bode well...

@thischrisoliver If you are able to help debug, could you truncate the text (so that the character spacing is reduced), make sure that the text layer is selected, and then run this script Plugins > Run Script…

let sketch = require('sketch')
let document = sketch.getSelectedDocument()
let selection = document.selectedLayers.layers[0].sketchObject
let paragraphStyle = selection.paragraphStyle()

console.log(paragraphStyle.paragraphSpacing())
console.log(paragraphStyle.allowsDefaultTighteningForTruncation())
console.log(paragraphStyle.tighteningFactorForTruncation())

If the console output is reporting zero still then I'll have resort to some other techniques (which probably include filing a radar with Apple)

O! Also, is there any chance you can send me the document with the character spacing issue! That could be very helpful.

Ahhh I might have found a clue: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/nsmutableparagraphstyle/1534136-allowsdefaulttighteningfortrunca?language=objc If you could still send me a document with the tightened character spacing I can try and test it with some new code!

Here's the Sketch file and the results of running the script:

Sweet!! Thanks a ton! Yeah, looks like allowsDefaultTighteningForTruncation() is true for you! I'll push out an update tonight and ensure that setting is off.

Woo! Looks like I'm able to fix the issue!
