I believe that I have found a bug that involves scrolling text.
So what I was planning on doing with the scrolling text was making a ticker for whatever song I was currently playing in rhythm game that I play called osu!. It would scroll the song name and info across a part of the screen so viewers could see all of it. So I have a program that takes the name and info of the song and puts it into a text file, but only while I am playing said song. As soon as I stop playing the song, it will delete the text in the file to make room for whatever song is going to be played next. Now obviously the only way to get this text into the ticker is to use the "Read from file" feature on a text source.
So here is where I encounter the problem. It works great when I create the source since there is already something there, but whenever I go to change the song, it will wont pull up whatever song I start to play next. The spot where the text is supposed to be just remains blank.
Now this is where it gets interesting. The new song name and info is still being read, and it is still in the text source, but it is only visible when I disable the scrolling filter. As soon as I disable it, the text will show up normally, just without any scroll. But as soon as I try to add the filter back on, the text will go away and it will again just be an empty text box.
I have no idea what is causing this, or if it's just because I'm doing something wrong, but I was definitely able to achieve this in the original OBS, and it's something that is rather important so I can have a quality stream. If this could be looked into at all I would greatly appreciate it! I have uploaded the logs for the session I was doing when I encountered this, so hopefully that will help a bit.
