Hello, I have some text links that wrap to a second line. In my SL2-published content, hovering anywhere over the link highlights the full link.
After updating the module to SL3 and republishing, the full link does not highlight, and looks like it is two separate links. I tried deleting the link and recreating it, but it still appears to be two separate links.
Is there any update on this? I'm trying to work around this by changing the link text, but it's challenging to keep them to a single line and yet have the text be descriptive and coherent.
I've attached a workaround that might help you. Essentially, I created a hover state and then placed a transparent box over the parts of the text that weren't part of the link.
Thanks JJ, I appreciate you looking into this. Unfortunately, I frequently have more than one link in a single text box, so this workaround wouldn't work for me. I'm hoping that there will be a fix for this bug so I don't have to keep working around it. Have a great day.
I'm happy to report that I was not able to reproduce this issue in Storyline 360 update 32. There have been other hyperlink related fixes lately and those may have fixed this issue as well.
Any news on this? I know the answer is no, but I'd like you to know that it is still happening. You verified that it happens in new blank files, yet it is not being fixed. Please escalate this.

Yeah. That would get pretty cumbersome. Hopefully, Articulate releases a fix soon. Take care!
Has this been fixed yet? I'm having this problem, too.
Me too

Hi all,

I just updated to the new version today, and this seems to be happening again.
Edit: version is February 18, 2020 (Build 3.37.21453.0)
Issue happens in existing storyline files, and in a new blank file.

I'm getting tired of tweaking my content to prevent text links from wrapping. Is this ever going to be fixed?

This was broken two years ago, fixed one year ago, then broken only a few months later.
Can you fix this for good please? It looks unprofessional and glitchy to have links broken apart in this manner.
