Hi.
Sometimes screen say don't hide automatically if none of output text at this moment. So it is block the bottom edge of the screen, even if there is no text. For example:
character1 "blah-blah-blah"
show animation1 with dissolve
$ renpy.pause(delay=1, hard=True)
show animation2 with dissolve
$ renpy.pause(delay=1, hard=True)
show animation3 with dissolve
character1 "blah-blah-blah again"
Even if I insert "hide screen say" at the line after "character1 "blah-blah-blah"" it does not hide and blocks bottom edge of the animation.
Thanks.

If I use the "centered" the dialog window splash for a moments, then hide and centered text appeared. The same thing happens when you change the "centered" to another sayer - the window flashes, disappeared and appeared again.
