Builder 2.0 Text & Color Workflow Stability
Right panel resize removed; font rendering, weight menus, color picker, and edit session stability restored
This article documents Builder 2.0 text and color workflow improvements shipped in Tiled v56.0.0. A combination of one feature change (removal of automated right panel resize) and six bug fixes address a cluster of related instabilities in font rendering, font weight menus, color picker behavior, and edit session reliability. Three of the bug fixes were applied as hotfixes prior to the full v56.0.0 release.
Scope: All Tiled users with Builder 2.0 access (Editor role and above) who work with text tiles and the color picker.
2. Feature Change: Remove Automated Resize in Right Panel (TD-6316)
The Builder 2.0 right panel previously performed an automatic resize when certain panels (e.g., text properties, color picker) were opened or when panel content changed. This automated resize caused the panel to jump or shift unexpectedly during editing, disrupting focus and occasionally causing misclicks on nearby controls.
|
Before v56.0.0 |
The right panel auto-resized when specific editing contexts were activated, causing visible panel jumps that interrupted workflow. |
|
After v56.0.0 |
The right panel maintains a stable width throughout editing sessions. Panel content scrolls within the fixed panel width rather than triggering a resize. |
|
User Impact |
Eliminates unintended panel shifts during text editing, color selection, and property panel navigation. Reduces accidental misclicks caused by panel movement. |
|
Scope |
Builder 2.0 right panel only. Builder 1.0 panel behavior is unchanged. |
3. Bug Fixes — Font Rendering & Weight Menus
Three text-related bug fixes were applied in this cycle. TD-6319 and TD-6320 were shipped as hotfixes prior to the v56.0.0 release due to the severity of the font rendering regression.

Resolution |

TD-6319 |
Builder 2.0 — Font Rendering (hotfix) |
Font rendering in Builder 2.0 text tiles was producing incorrect glyph shapes or weights for certain font families after a prior release introduced a rendering regression. The hotfix restored correct font rendering for all affected font families. Applied promptly before the v56.0.0 release cut. |
|
TD-6320 |
Builder 2.0 — Font Weight Menu (hotfix) |
The font weight dropdown menu in the Text panel was displaying incorrect weight options for certain variable or multi-weight font families — showing weights that were not available for the selected font, or omitting valid weights. The hotfix corrects the weight menu to accurately reflect the available weights for the selected font family. |
|
TD-6322 |
Builder 2.0 — Font Menu (related) |
A supplementary font menu fix related to TD-6320. Addresses a secondary edge case where the font weight menu did not update correctly after switching from one font family to another, retaining the weight options of the previously selected font. |
4. Bug Fixes — Color Picker & Edit Session Stability
|
Ticket |
Area |
Resolution |
|
TD-6375 |
Builder 2.0 — Color Picker Flicker |
The color picker in Builder 2.0 was flickering (rapidly showing and hiding) when opened in certain panel states. The flicker was caused by a render loop triggered by panel state updates during color picker initialization. The loop has been broken and the color picker now opens and remains stable. |
|
TD-6377 |
Builder 2.0 — Color Picker Over-Requesting |
The color picker was firing excessive API requests when a user interacted with the color gradient slider — similar to the issue resolved in v60.0.0 for the updated color picker component. Requests are now throttled correctly, reducing unnecessary server load during color selection. |
|
TD-6342 |
Builder 2.0 — Stable Edit Sessions |
Text tile edit sessions in Builder 2.0 were experiencing instability — specifically, entering and exiting text-edit mode could leave the tile in an inconsistent state where subsequent edits did not register, or the cursor position was lost. Edit session lifecycle management has been corrected to ensure reliable entry, editing, and exit from text-edit mode. |
5. Hotfix Context
TD-6319 and TD-6320 were applied as hotfixes before the v56.0.0 release cut due to the user impact of the font rendering and weight menu regressions. The formal inclusion in v56.0.0 consolidates these fixes into the release record and ensures they are captured in the standard defect remediation audit trail.
|
Note: Hotfix deployments for TD-6319 and TD-6320 were made promptly upon defect identification. The defects were not introduced in v56.0.0 — they were regressions from a prior cycle that were remediated in the v56.0.0 timeframe. The v56.0.0 release record includes these fixes to maintain a complete, auditable change history. |
6. QA Validation
|
QA Scope: Builder 2.0 text regression testing (fonts, weights, color picker, crashes) was a primary QA focus for v56.0.0. All seven items in this article were verified in the preprod environment before the January 13, 2026 release. |
|
Right Panel Stability |
Verified: no panel resize or jump occurs when opening text, color, or property panels. |
|
Font Rendering |
Verified: all tested font families render glyphs correctly at all weights. |
|
Font Weight Menu |
Verified: weight dropdown shows correct, available weights for each font family tested. |
|
Color Picker — Stability |
Verified: color picker opens without flicker; remains stable during interaction. |
|
Color Picker — Requests |
Verified: gradient drag does not produce excessive API requests. |
|
Edit Session Stability |
Verified: enter/exit text-edit mode is reliable across multiple consecutive operations. |
