[boskid][2.0.42] Parameters in display panel description persist in 'Always show in "Alt-mode"' view

Post by blazenclaw »

What did you do?
Made a parameterized blueprint for a display with a parameter in the body (this was updated for 2.0.4.2 by Kovarex here: 119866 ).




What happened?
The parameter in the text body of the display panel was successfully replaced, but the view when 'Always show in "Alt-mode"' is on is not properly updated. See:

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
The icon above the display port should match the description inside of the display port.


Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It happens whenever the blueprint is placed. A few things of note:
- When the display panel is moused over, the "..." trailing the parameter vanishes:

- If the panel is copied with ctrl-c and placed again, it places appropriately:

- Interestingly, if I disconnect from the server and reconnect, *I* see it fix itself and work properly, while players who remain on the server still see parameter 0 hovering.

Reproduction steps
Place blueprint shown above, select any item for the parameter to replace. Observe, mouse over, copy and paste again.

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 2.0.43.

It was related to parametrisation not using proper set function that would trigger one of required side effects of preparing text render after string was changed.
