making a rectangle enclosing a text

[iride]

float height = m_text.getFont()->getLineSpacing(m_text.getCharacterSize()) / 2.f;
m_rect.setSize({ m_rect.getSize().x, m_text.getLocalBounds().height + height});
window.draw(m_text); window,draw(m_rect);

when the text has letters it looks fine


but when the text is just like "..." the rectangle's height is shorter than it should be


how can i solve this issue?

Not sure if this will fix it, but sf::Font::getLineSpacing() won't do what you're wanting, I think.
I'd make the height of m_rect simply equal to m_text.getCharacterSize().

That way, you get the actual size of a character, rather than the bounding rectangle (which changes if the text changes).

Bounds rectangle has non zero left and top. I've marked the actual bounds in your second image (with faint red). That should let you understand what's wrong easily.
