Thanks for the plugin. Good job.
It can be very useful, as we can use variables.
Why does the Styled Text is displayed 2 times?

Quote from Anthony LaTorre on December 1, 2025, 9:54 pmLuiz, I don't know why you are seeing the text twice... I suggest you download the StyledText Styling guide I uploaded... and try using some code examples from the guide... There's one in English and one in Spanish...
The plugin is working fine on my end...
It looks like you didn't check the Word Wrap box before clicking ok

When running within VisualNeoWin, it shows up twice.
Running after compilation, it doesn't show up twice.
Both videos are attached.
The execution log seems normal:

Perhaps this is a side effect of something that happens every time I run an app within VisualNeoWin. I close the app and return to VisualNeoWin, but it's frozen (as if still running). I have to work with the Task Manager open and always end the task, because VisualNeoWin doesn't respond if I don't end the task.
I would appreciate any user who could give me a hint about this. Thank you in advance.
