You’re very welcome, Vivienne!
Here’s the plan: we’ll add a feature that lets researchers specify the width of a text stimulus, similar to how it works for images. What happens is we’ll create a “text box” around the text. The specified width controls the size of this box. While the text appearance won’t change, the container will now have a fixed width across trials. As a result, the text boxes will not shift around across trials visually.
I’m still a bit concerned this might not fully solve your issue. Even with a fixed-width text box, the position of the text within could shift slightly depending on its length. For example, if one trial shows "BLUE" and the next shows "RED," the shorter word ("RED") will sit slightly differently within the box. I don’t think this can be avoided—will that work for you?
