Graphics / Text returns incorrect global bounds

« on: April 23, 2012, 10:53:42 pm »

Calling getGlobalBounds() on a sf::Text object gives some weird results. This has been causing trouble for me as it makes positioning text a real pain. I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else (or if it's just me being a noob, I'm kind of new to SFML), I looked and didn't see anything.


Code I'm using:

    sf::Text text("||| Bounds don't line up with the text |||", font, 24);
    text.setOrigin(text.getGlobalBounds().width/2, text.getGlobalBounds().height/2);
    text.setPosition(window->getSize().x/2, window->getSize().y/2);
    text.setColor(sf::Color::Green);
 
    sf::RectangleShape R;
    R.setSize(sf::Vector2f(text.getGlobalBounds().width, text.getGlobalBounds().height));
    R.setOrigin(R.getGlobalBounds().width/2, text.getGlobalBounds().height/2);
    R.setOutlineThickness(1);
    R.setOutlineColor(sf::Color::Black);
    R.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
    R.setPosition(window->getSize().x/2, window->getSize().y/2);
