Hi @wk,

I was using version 5.1, then tried the 5.2 beta, but the problem was exactly the same in both versions.

Hi @jmcimsask,
(@wk, are you reading these posts? I’m posting the details below for you.)

Yes, basically. Except that my issues are worse.
In my case, I use Region 1 for Hebrew, and Region 2 for both a transliteration and translation.
This used to work fine in EasySlides 4, but no longer in EasySlides 5.

To begin with, the “Auto Text Overflow” is a disaster. It randomly breaks up the slide content.
Here’s a song from the ‘edit database item’ window. Due to having both tranliteration and translation, there is more text in Region 2 than in Region 1.

The result: The first slide is split up into 5 (!) slides:

Conclusion: “Auto Text Overflow” is totally unusable.

Now, with “Auto Text Overflow” disabled, the text is no longer split up, but both the font size, positioning, and spacing vary wildly, randomly, and uncontrollably.

Even though I have the font set to size 40 (or whatever) in ‘database settings’, and ‘align centre’ set in ‘manage schedules’ (and ‘individual settings’ disabled), the text position of Region 1 is aligned to the top with large blank space below it, and the font size varies wildly from one screen to the other. So it seems that neither the ‘database settings/font size’ nor the ‘manage schedules/align’ settings work at all.

Wai Kuen, hopefully you will read this. I would be grateful for some advice or solution.
Best,
