I am creating an interactive containing bunch of text entry fields for numbers and I want them to be right aligned. I have a hard time keeping them that way. They change to left aligned fields no matter what. Did anyone have this issue? Is there any solution?
I see the same behavior with numeric entry, but not a standard text entry. In regards to the numeric entry it seems it's been shared with our QA team for review - so I'll also include this thread in that report and once I have additional information to share I'll post it here for you.
@Ashley - just wanted to pipe in and let all of the fine Articulate folks know that I'm having the same issue.
I've built 5 slides, each with multiple numeric-entry fields set to right alignment. All of the fields on slides 1-4 work as expected, but slide 5 is a hot mess! Some of the fields maintain their right-alignment, others keep resetting to left-aligned even after I've gone into the paragraph properties and set them to right-aligned.
The worst part is that after I reset all of the fields a second (and third and fourth) time, some randomly reset to left when I preview the slide/scene or publish the file.
I'm coming up on a deadline to publish the course, so any information or tips are greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much for your help!
@Narenda and @Ashley - after a little more investigation, Phil Mayor (the Hero-est of Heroes) posted a workaround in another forum post. I tried it on that troublesome slide (with 21 numeric entry fields), and it seems to be working just fine.
Phil's workaround didn't work with my project. Locking the object in the timeline doesn't help maintaining the alignment. Is there any chance to get the bug fixed?

Hope this helps! Take care - Diana
Thanks Diana for the update and sharing that link here. Phil is pretty great - so I hope he sees your "Hero-est of heroes" comment. :-)
Thanks for linking your solution here Diana :)

Hi Martin! This issue still lies in the hands of our QA team. I do not have an update to provide at this time.
