Glitch that needs fixing
I came across little glitch that needs fixing.
If you create a sculpt & then attach a text gadget to it, if your imp passes his antenna over the area where the text gadgets message is when message box is set to appear in scene, the Imp is temporarily slowed down from moving & even stops at times.

Yes, I've already reported a similar bug with Number Displayers, so it's not surprising that it also affects Text Displayers. The necessary conditions for reproducing it were the control scheme being motion control, the Number Displayer's Auto-fit tweak being turned off, the Number Displayer's In Scene tweak being turned on, and the Number Displayet's tweak menu being closed. Under those conditions, the left stick stops working when the imp hovers over the Number Displayer's display gizmo - but you can still use motion control to get the imp out of that situation and then the left stick will start working again.

Also the size needs to be smaller than what is normally rendered, I believe--otherwise the left stick won't get locked up.
Note that this is not actually a bug, but there by design... they just didn't tell anybody. XD While the imp is over it, the left stick lets you scroll around the contents of the text box if the contents don't fit in the text box all at once. So it's sort of a feature... but not one that is useful most of the time, and no one knows about it, so no one uses the feature; they just get this buggy behaviour now and then and have no idea why.
BlueCloudStar In the future, the place to report bugs is indreams.me/support. That gets in touch directly with the QA team. (Though as I say, this isn't technically a bug, so they probably won't fix it from that.)
