Question States Displaying Incorrectly/Automatically Resizing
Dec 05, 2012
I'm seeing an issue on question slides that was a known bug when SL was in beta, only it's not in beta now and yet the problem is still happening. When I create a (multiple choice) quiz slide using the built-in slide master question template and then put in the answer options, the states for the answer options don't correctly display. I included some examples below.
The normal state looks fine, but the hover and down states automatically resize so they don't fit in the bounds of the text box. This is not only really annoying, but also a big time suck, since the only way to fix it is to make changes by hand to each individual state that's incorrectly displaying. My whole course is essentially one big quiz. I don't have time to fix everything by hand. How can I get the states to display correctly (as they should) and, more importantly, why does this bug still exist?!

Hello Andrew,
It looks like we have at least a couple of issues described here and this thread is a bit dated.
Does the error with the question text automatically re-sizing also happen in Storyline 3 or would upgrading from 2 to 3 resolve that particular issue?
Hi Jennifer!
I don't see that this issue has been reported for Storyline 3, so I'd like to take a closer look at your file. Would you mind sharing it with me? Even just one of the troublesome slides will do.
You can click here to attach the file to a new thread comment, or click here to send it privately.
Thanks Alyssa. I'm probably upgrading to Storyline 3, so hopefully that'll resolve the issue on my end.
I am sending along a file privately to hopefully help with the ongoing trouble shooting effort. One thing that's interesting to note, is that the "best" answer does not seem to move/wiggle when it's selected, but the other two answer options do.
Thanks, Jennifer. Keep an eye out for an email from our team!

Appreciate you sharing that example, b si. It was super helpful to see first hand!
I can reproduce the issue now where text within the multiple-choice text boxes becomes jittery when hovering a mouse over it. Here's a short recording of my test.
We have this logged as a bug in Storyline on our end. Although I don't have an update to share yet, I'm going to add your experience to its report to keep you posted on our progress. Here's an inside look at how we tackle bugs like this one!
Thanks for finally addressing this. I dont use Storyline much anymore but If I have to it will be good not to have to make all the tedious edits.
