Question / Help Text scrolling issue

As shown on the video I posted, OBS classic allows the scrolling text to show 'None' once. However, OBS Studio (which I am currently using) shows 'None' constantly with no spacing between the characters. How can I get the OBS classic style back, where is only shows the text once?

I had a similar issue and added a lot of trailing spaces as a workaround. A proper solution would be nice though, perhaps a margin option? At 100%, the margin would be as wide as the text itself, so that every pixel is only shown once.
 
The workaround I use for this is to put the space or special character within the app that's producing the .txt file e.g. twitch alerts rather than trying to get OBS to do it.

Custom text width option enabled?

If text file becomes longer than width I set, It becomes two lines.

If I enable Word Warp, It shows only last part in width I set

ex

text file : 'blah blah blah blah blah 1234512345'

If I set width: 20,

It shows last part 20 width '1234512345'

im having a similar issue with my twitch alerts and scrolling where I can not get the outer box to be a size I want without the font getting all screwed up, in obs classic we use to be able to use custom text extents, create a size and not have any issues with the font, anyone find a fix?

In the next build for Windows, you'll see the new plugin: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/commit/34eb4cd4097aa74fd1b5470d731ede6ac3259cd5 there is part in the code named "custom text extents". Wait for the next build.

Did you try to use Limit Width option from the Scroll filter? (Limit Width < Custom text width, for example 200 and 500).
