Hi Mark,
Your version of test3.py didn't work for me. I also tried updating to
the bleeding edge, and it didn't help. Like you, I found that
everything works fine on a Mac. The suggestion to alter the parameters
of Text objects might work but would be clumsy to implement since my
experiment uses many screens of text with different numbers of lines of
text, which may not even be known until runtime. Another thing I tried
was to use a single Viewport and alter the stimuli parameter, but that
didn't work.
Here's something that did work on my PC, though I'd prefer not to have
to do this hack if there's a better way. For some reason, if you draw
the Viewport, call glReadPixels (or screen.get_framebuffer_as_image,
which calls glReadPixels), and then draw the viewport a second time, it
works. The attached file contains code that does this for the last
screen. If this leads anyone to figure out a better solution, I'd be
grateful to hear about it.

Hi Mason -
I've noticed a bug with text objects that don't properly set their
projection matrix in OpenGL.
If you try this code here, it should work (Your other test3.py worked
just fine on my MacBook Pro, so it's hard to tell exactly what your
problem is). If it does work, then the problem was that the bug was
causing later text objects to be drawn 'off-screen'. Try updating your
visionegg with the 'bleeding edge', which may fix it.
Note, the OpenGL code is really more of a hack, rather than something
you should be doing.
The other people on the visionegg list are suggesting a nice workaround,
by altering the properties of a single Text object, you won't have to
worry about a second text object showing up.
Mark
