# Objective
In both Text2d and Bevy UI text because of incorrect text size and
alignment calculations if a block of text has empty leading lines then
those lines are ignored. Also, depending on the font size when leading
empty lines are ignored the same number of lines of text can go missing
from the bottom of the text block.
## Example (from murtaugh on discord)
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.run();
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
let text = "\nfirst line\nsecond line\nthird line\n";
commands.spawn(TextBundle {
text: Text::from_section(
text.to_string(),
TextStyle {
font_size: 60.0,
color: Color::YELLOW,
..Default::default()
},
),
style: Style {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
..Default::default()
},
background_color: BackgroundColor(Color::RED),
..Default::default()
});
}
```
## Solution
`TextPipeline::queue_text`,
`TextMeasureInfo::compute_size_from_section_texts` and
`GlyphBrush::process_glyphs` each have a nearly duplicate section of
code that calculates the minimum bounds around a list of text sections.
The first two functions don't apply any rounding, but `process_glyphs`
also floors all the values. It seems like this difference can cause
conflicts where the text gets incorrectly shaped.
Also when Bevy computes the text bounds it chooses the smallest possible
rect that fits all the glyphs, ignoring white space. The glyphs are then
realigned vertically so the first glyph is on the top line. Any empty
leading lines are missed.
This PR adds a function `compute_text_bounds` that replaces the
duplicate code, so the text bounds are rounded the same way by each
function. Also, since Bevy doesn't use `ab_glyph` to control vertical
alignment, the minimum y bound is just always set to 0 which ensures no
leading empty lines will be missed.
There is another problem in that trailing empty lines are also ignored,
but that's more difficult to deal with and much less important than the
other issues, so I'll leave it for another PR.

## Changelog
Added a new function `compute_text_bounds` to the `glyph_brush` module
that replaces the text size and bounds calculations in
`TextPipeline::queue_text`,
`TextMeasureInfo::compute_size_from_section_texts` and
`GlyphBrush::process_glyphs`. The text bounds are calculated identically
in each function and the minimum y bound is not derived from the glyphs
but is always set to 0.
