I built a new custom component and as usual (in former times ) I used a text-field for the component name containing  `=$INSTANCE_NAME` which expands quite correct.
But when I put the component on the topdesign and choose a lengthy name the last characters get cut off instead of expanding the text to the left as done in the other components. Where is the missing setting???
I attached the component project, please check.

Bob,

It appears that the text has a property Size, so it clips the text. I don't know where this came from, maybe that is evolution of the Creator 4.2. On top I added a standard text label, aligned TopRight. It has no Size property, and text expands as expected. I suggest just to replace component name with a standard label.
