Ok I see, that makes sense as a use-case... The "changing the general appearance of text containers" bit sounds a lot like my presets script I wrote though - will try to clean that up and send it over soon since I think that could fix stuff when it comes to formatting.
I'll try writing a report soon - looks like there's enough evidence with the forum threads I found to make it worth a report - with any luck someone will just know what the hell I'm doing wrong and point it out, but maybe it is some caveat of UGUI... Will try that soon.
