As you can see in the attachement when I publish this question slide the font are different between the 3 choices. And I don't found how to harmonize them.
Is there anybody who had this same problem ? And the solution .
It looks like the 2nd & 3rd choices are being shrunk to fit within the text box. The easiest fix is to enlarge the text boxes so the text fits at its designated size.

hello
thank you for the answer but it does not seem to me that we can size the fields according to the length of the text on this type of question since they are drop-down menus
Hello
I took a long time to get the offending slide out because when I took it out of the original file I could see the drop-down menus in creation mode, which was not the case until then.
So I tried to find the solution by myself without result unfortunately. but weird thing the menus are the same police same size in the taskbar but not in the slide itself. In short, I let you enjoy hoping that you will have the same thing as me.
How to select this kind of drop-down - I did not know at all. Storyline offers me only the 6 freeform-slides (drag&drop, pick one, pick many, text entry, hotspot and shortcut key) - no drop-down menu.
I have also not found a way to configure the drop down menus. The whole thing looks like an ancient storyline function that has not been adapted to the rest for many years (probably overlooked when modern text was introduced).
I have updated your course from "old text (-> "Shrink text on overflow", what happens with drop-down-menu)
to the "modern text"
now "shrink text on overflow" should be disabled, but it is still used with drop-down.
In such cases I would change the concept of my training and switch to type "pick one".
