I am currently making a replica GUI of the skyBreak terminal from Welcome to the Game II. Everything iv'e done is fine so far, apart from two things.

First: this one calculation. I don't know a good way to describe it, so let me run you through it;

function Module:newLine()
	local YPos
	if CurrentLine then
		if CurrentLine[2] then
			CurrentLine[2].TextEditable = false
		end
		YPos = CurrentLine[1].Position.Y.Scale + 0.030
	else
		YPos = 0.014
	end

	local PathSize = (5*#_PATH)+10
	
	local PathLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
	PathLabel.Name = "PathLabel"
	PathLabel.Parent = ConsoleHolder
	PathLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
	PathLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1.000
	PathLabel.BorderSizePixel = 0
	PathLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0.0119999936, 0,YPos, 0)
	PathLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, PathSize, 0, 15)
	PathLabel.Font = Enum.Font.Code
	PathLabel.Text = _PATH.." >"
	PathLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(58, 176, 86)
	PathLabel.TextSize = 14.000
	PathLabel.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Left
	
	local InputLabel = Instance.new("TextBox")
	InputLabel.Name = "InputLabel"
	InputLabel.Parent = PathLabel
	InputLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
	InputLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1.000
	InputLabel.BorderSizePixel = 0
	InputLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, (PathSize+30), 0, 0)
	InputLabel.Selectable = false
	InputLabel.ClearTextOnFocus = false
	InputLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, (855-PathSize), 0, 15)
	InputLabel.Font = Enum.Font.Code
	InputLabel.ShowNativeInput = false
	InputLabel.Text = ""
	InputLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(58, 176, 86)
	InputLabel.TextSize = 14.000
	InputLabel.TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Left
	
	InputLabel:CaptureFocus()
	
	CurrentLine = {PathLabel,InputLabel}
	Lines = Lines + 1
	if Lines > 33 then
		ConsoleHolder.CanvasSize.Y.Scale = ConsoleHolder.CanvasSize.Y.Scale + 0.030
	end
end

this is the newLine function. This creates a new line in the console that allows the user to enter a command. The size of PathLabel is determined by how many letters long it's text is (_PATH is the current directory, which can be any string).As you can see, i create a variable called PathSize, which calculates the X value for PathLabel.Size.

CurrentLine is the labels of the line above the one being made: {PathLabel,InputLabel}.

With the context out of the way, i can explain my issue.

I want the InputLabel to be a certain distance from the right edge of the PathLabel. My current calculation for this is:

InputLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, (PathSize+30), 0, 0)

However, this does not hold a solid position. The longer the PathLabel, the further inside it goes.

That is No.1.

The second question is simpler.

When i go to type something into the InputLabel, it has what seems to be a line break in it, despite me specifically setting the Text property to "". When i press back space, the textbox cursor looses its green color and returns to white, allowing me to type my message correctly. Why does this happen, and how do i prevent it?

thanks in advance.
