Martin/Charles,
FWIW, I thought timing was a problem too with bbox(), but when I was modifying
text nodes (on a path) using UpdateManager and subsequently calling bbox it
would fail (reproducibly and in the same way as not using UM) for certain
strings.. would be interested to know though Martin if you found an approach
that resulted in bbox working reliably?
Cheers,
Andrew
