Has anyone encountered issues with barcodes in 2019.1? After the upgrade our label generation system started producing UPC barcodes with a mangled number; I'm trying to figure out what went wrong.

<@UCBRT48KA> Same situation. What was once a uniform barcode now has a strange, smaller barcode with the last 2 digits of the upc.

<@U56BKUG4A> Workaround was to change `codetype="upca"` to `codetype="ean-13"` and stick a zero in front of the value--with these two changes it produces a barcode identical to what we're getting before.

AFAICT 2019.1 upgraded BFO to 2.22.1, which the release notes say : "By popular request, added UPCA Barcodes as a distinct variation of EAN13, but with slightly different text formatting."

Which seems to have also broken something along the way but I haven't raised the issue with them since the workaround I found works and I'm too busy to deal with it any more.

Your suggestion, add 0 and use EAN-13,  worked for what we are trying to do.
