Wavey text effect not working after upgrade to 51

[JoelRose]

I was working on a sequence and xlights crashed.
Tried to restart lights but just a blink in the taskbar an no xlights.

Two clean restarts and still xlights will not start.
Time to upgrade.
I was running 40 and downloaded and installed 51.

The text effect with the wavy movement option is not working correctly.
It appears to center the text immediately with no movement.

When I open sequences that were created with 40
There are two test effects

One has the text with no color or movement.
the second has no text, but does have the wavy movement and the correct color.

The preview shows the wavy text in the white color.
As soon as you click the correct color on the one with the text, the color changes, but all motion stops.

I did not see any thing in the version log but I hope this has ready been fixed and I just need the latest beta version.

Nope we didn't know anything about it.  I looked at the code and it appears that the Wavey option never worked for Line1.  The string we were looking for to know it was that option was incorrect for Line1 but correct for Lines 2, 3, and 4.  So when we changed the text effect to 1 line that option would never work.  To be honest I had never heard of anyone using that movement option.
