Layout issues with SLDT

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the Experience and Reputation modules of SLDT

The Experience and Reputation texts are not keeping their Justify values between sessions. I checked and the Justify value ("aP" I think the variable is called) is not being written into my SavedVariables file no matter what I do. As such the texts both revert to center justified when I first log in. However, if I open and then shut the sldt config panel with /sldt config, the texts then regain their correct Justify value.

Has anyone encounterred this bug? I've tried loads of things to fix it with no joy. As I can't code lua they were probably all stupid/incorrect ideas anyways. I tried things like altering the default Justify vales in the lua, I tried to make a workaround by using a script to just open and shut the sldt config on launch but I couldn't figure out the code to replicate the effect of the /sldt config macro, etc

I also tried a script to SetPoint on the text frames on login, but strangely found that the Experience and Reputation texts don't have a frame at all (when looking with /fstack) until after I use /sldt config (while other texts without this bug (like the Clock module) do have a frame immediately). Could this be a part of the problem? SLDT maybe not setting up the base frame for the Experience and Reputation texts properly?

Anyways, it's kinda driving me nuts a bit. It must have eaten up 5+ hours of my time so far.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Ok I think I got it. I have a kgpanel do this on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD:

Code:

local SLDT = SLDataText

SLDT.Exp:Disable()
SLDT.Exp:Enable()
SLDT.Exp:Refresh()

SLDT.Reputation:Disable()
SLDT.Reputation:Enable()
SLDT.Reputation:Refresh()

SLDT_Exp:ClearAllPoints();
SLDT_Reputation:ClearAllPoints();
SLDT_Exp:SetPoint("RIGHT", "UIParent", "BOTTOM", -245, 39);
SLDT_Reputation:SetPoint("LEFT", "UIParent", "BOTTOM", 246, 39);

Feels hacky as hell, but it works.
