Topic: textzone orientation="vertical" and text length

It looks like size of texts are correctly truncated to fit when textzone orientation="horizontal"
when textzone orientation="vertical" direction="ccw" there is no limit in size and scroll="yes" does not work
using "param_cast text n" does not help, it truncates the UTF8 string to n bytes
placements (align="center" valign="middle" dx dy ...) are not respected

maybe some unknown/uncommon parameters are needed in this case

Looks like it is supposed to work, you have an example?

extract from vb_8decks skin

<textzone orientation="vertical" direction="ccw" visibility="play ? false : loaded">
<pos x="-50+118" y="+300"/>
<size width="18" height="322"/>
<text fontsize="16" color="trackloaded" scroll="yes" align="center" action="get_artist_title &amp; param_cast text 54" important="true"/>
</textzone>
<textzone orientation="vertical" direction="ccw" visibility="play">
<pos x="-50+118" y="+100+200"/>
<size width="18" height="322"/>
<text fontsize="16" color="trackplayed" scroll="yes" align="middle" action="get_artist_title &amp; param_cast text 54" important="true"/>
</textzone>

tested with height and width swapped too; position seems difficult to set
