Drag & Drop choices overlapping on 2nd attempt
May 27, 2021
Hello: I have a matching drag & drop ( choice & match) set up with 4 choices and 2 tries. After the first try a 1 is assigned to a variable and the original slide is reloaded so that all of the matching boxes return to their original position. The revisiting default for this slide is set to "Reset to initial state" so that everything snaps back to its original position. This is where the problem occurs. When the student attempts to move one of the match boxes on the 2nd attempt, the other match boxes on the slide begin to overlap one another on the screen. I think this is a glitch in storyline. The only way I have found to get around this problem is to set the default setting for this slide to "Automatically Decide" but if I do that then the boxes don't reset to their original position on the 2nd attempt. Hopefully there is a fix but I'm thinking this is a bug in storyline.

Hi, Glen.
Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're experiencing issues with the matching drag and drop feature in Storyline!
I went ahead and opened a support case on your behalf. You should hear from our team very soon via e-mail.
Hello! Did we ever get a fix for this issue? It happens to me as well. On the second/subsequent attempts, drag objects get dragged to the target boxes even when only one object is being moved. It doesn't happen on the first attempt, only on the subsequent ones.
Hi Math Thynker,
I was able to reproduce an issue that sounds similar to yours. Would you be able to tell me if this is the issue you are seeing? I included a video below.
