Why is cursor text clipped in graphs?

[bmihura]

Notice the letter "a" is missing its leftmost column of pixels when I display it as cursor text. Is this bug fixable?

A very simple LabVIEW 7.1 VI is attached to illustrate this.

This is an old bug. Depends on the font/size used. I usually add a space before the string as work around.

That "adding a space" trick works for me, thanks.

On a side note, is there some way to change the font of the cursor text itself, without changing the font of the entire graph? I notice that Font is not in the property nodes' list o' properties.

Yes it is. See the attached vi.

Of course, you have to know where to look to find it 😉

Just right click on the cursor name (in the cursor palette) and select "create property node"

Got it, thanks again.
