Ok, this is a known issue. Hopefully fixed in 7.9.11.

There’s instructions floating around the forum for launching with the JVM installed on your machine instead of the one included in the 7.9.10 launchers but I can’t seem to find them. Give support a call on Monday and they should be able to help you out with that.

I used the code found here:

When I say huge distance, I'm talking close to an inch! (for my resolution and height of text box) Visually, it looks like it's in the centre of the top and bott…

This bug is back again, not sure when, but it’s in 7.9.14  
 ![Rotated Text not showing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/2/2bf20c23f4314fb722532475d4b29de4d6139701.gif)

and adding the `<HTML>` tag as @Dawid_Fulczynski mentioned still fixes it (don’t need the `<body>` tag)

Also present in 8.0.17, and html or html\>\<body does not work.

Is there any new workarounds?
