Description David 2017-10-13 23:08:32 UTC 
I'm trying to scroll some text horizontally like in the news. This text must not wrap.

So I tried something like this:

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,width=300,height=300 ! textoverlay text="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" wrap-mode=none halignment=absolute x-absolute=0.5 ! autovideosink

which fails with

(gst-launch-1.0:27547): Pango-WARNING **: pango-layout.c:3209: broken PangoLayout

by "fails" I mean that the text does not render at all.

If I remove "halignment=absolute" or "wrap-mode=none" this works.
Tested by me on debian with gst 1.10.4-1 and by thiagoss on master with the same result.

I'd gladly accept a workaround, if you have any, for now.

setting auto-resize=false doesn't change anything

Duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763182 maybe?
