Change delay, create new lines, "backspace" the text

Not sure if this is a bug or me not knowing how to use right(text.text,count) properly.

New project

add keyboard, a textinput, and a text

TextInput On Text changed, set text to right(textinput.text,20)

Preview

Type "This should work correctly"

Up to the 10th character it displays as I would assume is correct.

Character 11 thru 19 it starts dropping a character.

At "This should work co" the text only displays "o" (the 19th letter)

At 20 letters it starts displaying what I assume is correct..

Bug or am I doing something wrong?

Check the actual size of your text object, if the contents do not fit they may get cut off.

Edit: Never mind, tried it myself and it does seem to be a bug.
