StaticText Character Limitation

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing a weird issue with StaticText, specifically it being limited in characters once I set an initial text value. Basically I'm building a progress bar window: I have a function that builds the UI with all the elements/text, and another function that updates the UI.

When I build the UI and set the initial text value to "XXX", then attempt to change it via my updateProgressBar function, the new text value is limited to 3 characters ("XXX"). Likewise, if I change the initial text value to nothing "", when I update the text, it displays nothing. Basically, whatever I set as the initial text in the UI, that's the max # of characters I can have, even when trying to update the text to something else via my updateProgressBar function. The weird thing is, everything is 100% functional and the progress bar/text DOES update, it's just the StaticText is limited in # of characters.

Anyone experience this issue? I'm thinking it has something to do with the way I'm building the UI/functions. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

// Build progress bar
var progressBarWindow = buildProgressBar();
var totalLayers = myPalette.grp.mainGroup.extrusionGroup.extrusionCopies.text * numSelectedLayers;
var progressCounter = 0;

// Update progress bar 
progressCounter = progressCounter + 1;
updateProgressBar(progressBarWindow, 0, totalLayers, progressCounter);


// Function that updates progress bar
function updateProgressBar(progressWindow, min, max, curValue){
        
        progressWindow.grp.mainPanel.progressBarUI.minvalue = min;
        progressWindow.grp.mainPanel.progressBarUI.maxvalue = max;
        progressWindow.grp.mainPanel.progressBarUI.value = curValue;
        
        progressWindow.grp.mainPanel.progressTxt.text = "Processing: " + curValue + "/" + max + " layers";
}

// Builds window for progress bar
function buildProgressBar() {
    
    var myWin = new Window("palette", "Extruding...", undefined, {resizeable:false});
    if (myWin != null) {
        
                var res = "group {orientation:'column', alignment:['fill','fill'],\
                                    mainPanel: Group {text:'Add/Edit List Item', orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], minimumSize:['250','50'], spacing:5 ,\
                                        progressBarUI: Progressbar {alignment:['fill','top']} ,\
                                        progressTxt: StaticText {text:'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', alignment:['left','top']},\
                                    },\
                                }"; 
                                
                myWin.grp = myWin.add(res);
                
                
                myWin.layout.layout(true);
                myWin.layout.resize();               
                myWin.onResizing = myWin.onResize = function(){this.layout.resize()};
                myWin.show(); 

                return myWin;
