I'm using a label on the screens to display the screen name and path to make it easier to locate and if someone moves or changes the name it automaticlaly updates. {[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow} However in one instance the last 3 characters are being dropped. I can't find where you would change the number of characters that are allowed.

You would either make your font smaller in size or make the label component wider in the designer.

Also, when posting, make sure you add the appropriate tags, like `perspective` or `vision`

Sorry, I thought that I added the tags. Making it wider does not show any more characters. On the last image notice the name is cutoff.

How are you opening these windows? If you aren't using swapping for **every** main window, then that tag will not be valid. That is, the tag doesn't follow the foreground visible window when multiple main windows are open, but the last window actually swapped.

The auto-open marker on the `MainMenu` window suggests you have multiple main windows open.
