Hey , Thank you for your report. Would you mind providing me with some images and simple steps to reproduce this issue on my end. You mention the Paint function which deals with the Widget Library which means you are doing this within a Widget Blueprint? Screenshots of the Widget Blueprint UI Designer as well as the Event Graph will help me visualize how you are calling the DrawText function. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you, ---

I think this irrelevant because I am upgrade engine to version 4.9. In this version function Draw text named Draw string and it is deprecated. But I can not use new function Draw text, because i can not find object WidgetBlueprintLibrary for pin target. ![56881-безымянный.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/e/c/aecccfa5d2b40ea29653dad414f68945b362ce00.png) ---

Hello , After looking into your issue I was able to find that the error you are getting is due to an issue ( UE-20722) that has been sent to the developers for further consideration. This issue is that the node “Draw Text” should not have the target pin that is throwing the error that you are seeing in the screen shot provided. I will provide updates with any pertinent information on this issue as they become available. Thank you for your information and time. Make it a great day
