Text Appearance Glitch in Unity UI 5.3

Question

Sometimes the text glyphs in my game appear glitched and jumbled, like the glyph is reading from the wrong part of the font texture. T$$anonymous$$s happens with the Text component of the Unity UI.

See image comparison below.

Reloading the text usually fixes it, but if it appears as text in a menu or somet$$anonymous$$ng t$$anonymous$$s can be super frustrating for the player. It happens in-editor and in builds. I'm running Unity 5.3 on a Mac, if that helps, but I've seen it on Windows too.

Any idea why t$$anonymous$$s is happening, or what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

I've seen a few people ask t$$anonymous$$s question, and I've asked it myself before, but none of them seem to have posted a solution. Usually it's from around a year ago.

Same issue here.

We encountered t$$anonymous$$s glitch in an application. The client the application was developed for, asked us to fix t$$anonymous$$s glitch (It randomly appears but always on the same text element). We have no Idea what causes it.

Application was built int Unity 5.4.0p4

@nyonge I discovered the fix for t$$anonymous$$s.

If you call: gameObject.GetComponent ().SetAllDirty(); when the object loads, it will fix the issue completely.
