It’s OK to tell me, “just don’t use really long strings stupid!” 
They seem to break a lot of things…
print() is apparently limited, and sometimes will not output if string length is too long.
Could be why this is happening.
The Defold editor itself will throw “java.lang.StackOverflowError: Unknown” if you type enough text in one line.
I think there is an issue for that already.
please don’t worry too much about this.
I believe the solution is for me to find a way that avoids long string data.
