getlines() quirk
 

I have a guiMLTextCtrl and when the player invokes a few certain actions, a function will change the text, afterward I call a function that uses getlines() with MLText. Now .text returns the appropriate text always but only if I remove a line of text from the MLText will it return the proper line array. How come getlines is not returning my MLText all the time?

EDIT : adding a sleep() delay to the beginning final functions seems to correct it.

Are you just modifying it with obj.text @= "etc." are you calling one of the GUI methods (obj.addtext(text, reflow_bool)) to do so?

obj.addtext(); and when I have to take a a line I do obj.text = ""; I add back the lines except the ones I need to remove.
