Text Entry boxes run together on try mode and test mode screen rec
May 16, 2014
I'm trying to demo our software with many text entry boxes and did a screen recording with storyline. On one screen we have many boxes in a row where we must enter text and numeric values. When I do a screen recording and press the "tab" key between boxes, it doesn't always register as separate text boxes when I go to use the recording in try mode and test mode in storyline. For example, in the attached picture, I type "Brand" followed by "tab", then "expense", followed by 2 "tabs",, then "Cheap" followed by "tab", then Costly, followed by "tab", etc. Storyline creates a text entry box that requires me to type "CheapCostly" in one box. I even tried pressing "print screen" between each entry but that just gives me more screenshots to work with, from which I would have to enter the text entries myself, I presume. Any suggestions? Do I have to click in the new boxes to get it to register?

Hi Brooks and welcome to Heroes!
I just tested this out on my own Storyline files, and saw the behavior you mentioned - it seems to randomly add the break into the text entry. I've shared this with our QA team for further review, but I don't have a time frame to offer in regards to when I'll hear back from them,
In the meantime, I'd suggest using the work around of adding the individual text entries or modifying the text entries once they're generated using the screen recording.
Okay...Thanks...let me know if there is a fix and in the meantime, I'll have to use the workaround of doing everything manually.
I'll keep this thread update, Brooks and you can also stay up to date on news and happenings with Articulate by following us on Facebook, Twitter and subscribing to our Word of Mouth blog.

Just to add to the post...I'm having a similar issue and I'm on the latest version... Update 4:1501.717....we are also having to do the longer work around for now.
Will keep an eye on this thread.
Thanks much! Lisa
Hi Lisa,
This is still an issue in Storyline 2 as well - but I'll add this thread to the existing report filed so that we can share any updates with you here once they're available.
