Hi MrDave,
%{ver} is 4.3.2
After 50 minutes of trying different values for text_left and right, I
narrowed down the breaking point.
My starting point was empty text_left, and a long string for text_right,
that placed some of the information in the upper right corner.
I first tried removing the many \n but it stayed small, scale 1.
Then next I added the %{ver} to text_left, and it jumped to scale 2.
Something was reset by doing this.
This sent me down the long testing track believing the string of
\n\n\n\n in text_right was not the cause, but now I think it is, at
least mostly.
To reproduce,
text_right %D \n%N \n%{fps} \n%Y-%m-%d %T-%q
should be correct. Then add \n to either the middle or the end. Once
there are 12 or 13 lines it jumps to scale 1.
or start with
text_right %D\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
does not get to the upper right, but is scale 2
Start adding \n until it jumps to scale 1. Since this happens when the
text is at exactly the middle, I think there is a test off by a factor
of 2 when testing if the text goes off the top of the frame.
Put simply, can't get the overlay text in the upper corner in v4.3.2
