T2dTextObject - need to be created without text set

A t2dTextObject needs to be created without the text set. Otherwise the calculation of the size of the text will not work. Maybe not a bug but at least now there is a thread for information.
%txtObj = new t2dTextObject()
{
scenegraph = %this.scenegraph;
font = "Arial";
// text = "Text"; // will not work here
wordWrap = "0";
hideOverflow = "0";
textAlign = "Left";
lineHeight = "50";
aspectRatio = "1";
lineSpacing = "0";
characterSpacing = "0";
autoSize = "1";
fontSizes = "50";
textColor = "1 1 1 1";
hideOverlap = "0";
layer = "0";
};
%txtObj.text = "Text"; // but here

The first link is in regard to fontsizes and is a bug I identified in TGB 1.1.3. I don't know if it's still an issue in 1.7.2. If you're running 1.7.2 could you follow the replication steps and see if it's still bogus?
The second link is to a bug from TGB 1.1.3. I just checked 1.7.2 and it's been [even more elegantly] fixed.
My game was extremely text-heavy. I spent lots of time dealing with t2dTextObject buts :p The final product is here.
