I have found this several times on different versions, still occurs on V1.8.
If you use a bevel effect on a layer that has a text component the text will not update if code or an event try to change it. Example-
Create widget, add a layer, add a text component on the layer, add two buttons
add code for Button1 to text1.text="hello"
add code for Button2 to text1.text="bye"
Test it - button 1 and 2 work OK changing the text of text1
Now on Layer1 select "effect" and tick "bevel"
Test it now - the text will not change.
Untick "bevel" and it works again.

This occurs if the text in on the layer, if you move the text off the layer it works OK
Can anyone confim this is a bug?

please try to add code for Button1 text1.update; after text1.text="hello"

Hi Tony
Modified code to
text1.text="hello";
text1.update;

Still does not work if bevel is ticked...
