Quizmaker 13 - change hover box dimenions

Jun 15, 2017

I have a number of questions where the hoverbox is far narrower than the text box containing the questions.  The effect is that when someone "hovers", the text often wraps around, and can often overlap with the text of the next answer.  It looks terrible.  This happens only on most, but not all slides.  There appears to be no way to set this, or shut it off entirely.  I have tried importing the questions into a new template and found no success that way (the problem persisted upon re-import.

 

Is there any way to set or shut this off - I have no problem manually editing config files or what have you

In the end, the only way I could fix this was by

 

  1. Preview every question to determine which ones had the issue
  2. For each offending question, create a new blank question of the same type, and manually copying the questions and answers to the new blank question, one line at a time.
  3. Preview the new question (it always worked so I stopped doing this after the first few).
  4. Delete the old question

 

(importing the questions into a blank template did not work - the imported questions brought their hover baggage with them).

 

I feel pretty confident that I can avoid this issue in the future by finalizing all the design elements (dimensions, master slides) before entering or importing questions.  The problem seemed to stem from some adjustments I made after the questions were entered.
