✅ | Disable text in text elements snapping to a grid

[limpid zephyr]

Sorry, but the docs don’t cover a way to animate a Text element’s internal glyph positions smoothly—moving the whole element (via anchors/advanced positioning) is the intended workflow, but the actual Markdown/text rendering inside it stays tied to its grid. I can’t offer a doc-backed solution for what you describe.

I think the issue may be related to the time it takes for the element to update with the new advanced position value, would there be a way to make it update more often?

[limpid zephyr]

There’s no documented way to force faster updates for Text element positioning—the editor only re-evaluates advanced position data once per render tick, and there isn’t a setting to make it update faster. If the built-in animation feels choppy you might try attaching the moving text to a Ticker-driven variable and animate that variable, then use that variable in a Text element’s Translate/Position if available—but direct smoothing of glyph positions inside the Text element itself isn’t supported according to the docs.
