Topic: Caption after <br> transparent in flash version, works fine html5

Hi.

My caption text is going transparent after a <br> tag.  The text is there because if I hover over a hyper link in the text (that I can't see) I can click it and be taken to the link, it's just transparent.  This worked before upgrading from 2.0.1 free version to latest pro version.  Also when viewed from the html5 (mobile) the captions show up fine.

Example page

relevant sections from gallery.xml

<simpleviewergallery
    
    galleryStyle="MODERN"
    title="Canoe Stand"
    textColor="FFFFFF"
    frameColor="FFFFFF"
    frameWidth="10"
    thumbPosition="LEFT"
    thumbColumns="3"
    thumbRows="4"
    showOpenButton="TRUE"
    showFullscreenButton="TRUE"    
    maxImageWidth="1024"
    maxImageHeight="768"
    useFlickr="false"
    flickrUserName=""
    flickrTags=""
    languageCode="AUTO"

Re: Caption after <br> transparent in flash version, works fine html5

This is a known issue where sometimes the last line of text in an overlay caption will not be displayed.

The work-around is to set "captionPadding" to 5 or greater.
