This seems reproducible for me in Storyline 2. Is it for anyone else?
I have a couple of text entry fields, with a trigger on each to increment a numeric variable by 1 when Lose Focus fires on them.
The idea is that I can keep track of when the user has been into a few fields.
What I see happen, however, is that if I increment the numeric variable on a lose focus event on the text entry fields the variable gets set to a NaN (Not a Number) rather than getting incremented.
If anyone else sees this then I think we've got a bug.
To be honest, I don't even clearly remember what I was trying to do when I encountered the bug - 2 years ago Articulate, and evidently still open! It might have been short answer text that I was expecting user input on in the fields, so it feels vaguely familiar to me that I checked for key presses of a vowel and incremented a numeric flag variable based on that to indicate the the learner had been there when A, E, I, O or U was pressed.

Hi Pete
I get the same behaviour as you in SL2. In SL1 the variable works as expected.
I tried two triggers : user clicks in text box and control loses focus
Brilliant! Thank, Wendy.
I can work around it; it's just not as elegant.
Something for the folks at Articulate to add to the list...
Hi Pete! Feel free to share your file here or with support here so that we can have a look. It's not an issue that I'm seeing a report on yet.
Pete, I'm experiencing this bug -- how did you work around the problem? Hopefully you're still subscribed to this thread.
Hi Sharon!
I do see where Pete reached out to our support team (00438004) and a report was put into the QA Team, but I do not have an update to provide on that.
If you do not hear back soon, feel free to reach out to the user via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if needed.

Good luck!
