Say statement in menu stopping choice button hover

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue using a say statement in a menu. It causes the choice menu buttons to stop changing on hover. If I remove the say statement, the buttons work as desired. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

    menu:
        nmenu "Who is that?" # if i remove this, the hover works correctly

        "I’ve never seen him before.":
            $ pronoun = "he"

        "I’ve never seen her before.":
            $ pronoun = "she"

        "I’ve never seen them before.":
            $ violet_pronoun = "they"

This is the character:

Code: Select all

define nmenu = Character(None, window_xanchor=0.0, window_yanchor=0.0, window_xpos=1280, window_ypos=160, window_xmaximum=700, what_xalign=0.0, what_yalign=0.0, what_font="fonts/KOMTXTI_.ttf", what_slow_cps=30, window_background=None)

Screens:

Code: Select all

screen choice(items):
    style_prefix "choice"

    vbox:
        if menualignment == "left":
            xalign 0.1

        for i in items:
            textbutton i.caption action i.action

## When this is true, menu captions will be spoken by the narrator. When false,
## menu captions will be displayed as empty buttons.
define config.narrator_menu = True

style choice_vbox is vbox
style choice_button is button
style choice_button_text is button_text

style choice_vbox:
    xalign 0.9
    ypos 600
    yanchor 0.5

    spacing gui.choice_spacing

style choice_button is default:
    properties gui.button_properties("choice_button")

style choice_button_text is default:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("choice_button")

GUI:

Code: Select all

define gui.choice_button_width = 700
define gui.choice_button_height = None
define gui.choice_button_tile = False
define gui.choice_button_borders = Borders(8, 8, 8, 16)
define gui.choice_button_text_font = "fonts/KOMTXTI_.ttf" #gui.text_font
define gui.choice_button_text_size = 42 #gui.text_size
define gui.choice_button_text_xalign = 0.5
define gui.choice_button_text_idle_color = "#000000"
define gui.choice_button_text_hover_color = "#ffffff"
define gui.choice_button_text_insensitive_color = "#000000"

I'm not sure what's going on as the documentation says that say statements will work. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Which version of Ren'Py are you using?
7.4 is fairly new and has some uncaught bugs, this may be one.

I was using 7.3 so updated to the new release 7.4, but the button hover is still not working

There's no reason that the say statement would affect the choice hovers (it does not in a new project), so you're going to have to do more investigating to figure out what's causing it.

Yes, it seems very strange. I still haven't figured it out what's causing it, but I will repost if I find something that may help others with similar issues.
