Setting text and retrieving transform data for text results in stale transform data

[nik312123]

In Python, I am working on some code that changes text in OBS and then centers the text element.

Here is the relevant code:

# OBS_REQUEST_CLIENT, TEXT_SOURCE_NAME, text_item_id, and text are all assigned before this point
OBS_REQUEST_CLIENT.set_input_settings(TEXT_SOURCE_NAME, {"text": text}, True)

text_item_transform = OBS_REQUEST_CLIENT.get_scene_item_transform("Scene", text_item_id).scene_item_transform

text_item_width = text_item_transform["sourceWidth"]
text_item_height = text_item_transform["sourceHeight"]

OBS_REQUEST_CLIENT.set_scene_item_transform(
    "Scene",
    text_item_id,
    {
        "scaleX": 1.0,
        "scaleY": 1.0,
        "positionX": (SCENE_WIDTH - text_item_width) / 2,
        "positionY": (SCENE_HEIGHT - text_item_height) / 2,
    }
)

However, having these two calls one after the other often results in stale data for the text item's width and height. I have to put a sleep(0.1) call after the call to OBS_REQUEST_CLIENT.set_input_settings(...) to prevent this. This does not seem like expected behavior unless I am mistaken.

Something like CodingRooms https://codingrooms.com/ "real-time student dashboard" would be amazing. It does not need to be as feature rich as this either. To just see student code by displaying the history logs in a grid style view.
