Hey all -
I started adding journal pages for key events in my game and noticed that when I load a save game that the main text for my journal pages aren't saving. It's recognizing that the page has been added but the page is blank.
Is there an option that I should be checking for this?
Thanks!

After Save/Load:
The screenshot of the Speech Manager doesn't show the Journal page itself - please take another showing the page's text as it appears in the "Game text" panel.

I will need to see the actual translations of the journal pages - you can view these by clicking on the entries in the Speech Manager one-by-one.
To eliminate the possibility of these issues being related to Unity UI, temporarily switch your Menu's Source back to Adventure Creator. You may have to tweak the visual settings in the Menu Manager to get it usable in the Game window if you haven't used that mode before. Does the same behaviour continue?
Then, try unchecking Prevent original language from being used? and make sure that you're viewing the journal in-game with the default language. Does it then display correctly?
Here are a couple of screenies of the translations (it looks like the ID # that I wrote in the journal entry isn't getting translated from Original to English...After I took these shots, I did a full Reset/Gather Text and it looks like that particular issue cleared up):
The first thing will be to get the correct behaviour when the Menu's Source is set to Adventure Creator, so that we aren't having to solve problems with Unity UI at the same time. Make sure that there are no Size fields in your Menu and Menu's Elements set to Automatic - this may be the cause of your size-changing issue.
Do you recall what AC version you created the Diary Menu in? If you PM the asset file to me, I can see if I can do something about the disappearing labels issue.
For the original issue, check that the Unity UI prefab's Text box for the Journal is not hiding the text itself. Then, send me all Managers, together with a scene file that contains a faulty Action that adds a new journal page. No other files should be necessary.
