display problem

Nov 18, 2017

Hi, Storyline community :)

I have a wierd problem while trying to edit my E-learnings - whenever I put an element on the slide - I can not see it, or edit it. The wierd thing is - I can see the element on the timeline, and in the slide preview on the left.

You can see in the screenshot I've added to this discussion the problem.

Has anyone noticed that before? Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi there,

What happens if you click on the screen? Does SL give you the big red cross?

I had a similar-ish issue a while back, it was intermittent and support and I were at our wit's end, we couldn't figure out what was going on. It only affected a few files, on SL 2, so I didn't stress too much about it.

Anyway, over time and eventually, I figured out it was happening to files where for some reason the fonts used in those files were not correctly installed on my system. Once I reinstalled the fonts, problem disappeared.

I can't really tell from your screenshot whether it's the same issue, but would be worth checking your fonts.
