I have an imported powerpoint file and some of the bullets imported with underlines. If one is underlined on a slide, they are all underlined. I can remove the bullets and the underline goes away. The underline is never under the sentence text. The only way I have found to remove the underline is to create a new text box and retype everything.
Ok, I found it funny this subject began six years ago, and I just ran into the issue in my trial version of Storyline 360. In my situation, I CTRL-SHIFT dragged a text box that had an underlined top sentence in it, thus making a duplicate text box. I highlighted the text and deleted, typing new text and turning on the bullets. The bullets appeared underlined while the text is not. It seems that somehow a code artifact for UNDERLINE remains attached to the text box even if it is deleted or formally turned off.
I'm happy to help! I've tried to recreate this issue in Storyline 360 (Build 3.48.24116.0), and I do not see the underlined bullet points.
I've followed the steps you've listed and recorded my screen to show you what I see on my end. Here's my test.
Do you see this in every project you create in Storyline 360, or is it just this project? Also, have you imported the text from another source like Word, PowerPoint, etc.?
I appreciate your help in troubleshooting this snag!
Thanks for your response and video. Couple of things you did differently there that could violate the integrity of the test, but then again I never recorded and sent a video or I'd have been a psychic.
In the first one, I did not use the Lorem command to generate text. I should have mentioned this text was copied from a PDF manual. I probably added the title after (clicking in top left) and then a return to move text below it, and then bolded and underlined it. Then, I CTRL-SHFT dragged to be another bulleted block of text (I like to manually position bulleted text blocks in layouts as you can easily move left/right/up/down), highlighted all, hit DELETE and then typed (or copy/pasted) the "Special Scene" lines in the graphic. I'm pretty sure I probably highlighted them both and clicked the BULLETS icon tool at top (usually how I work). Hope that helps, even if in my convoluted artist way of working with objects like text blocks.
I've tested these steps as well; copying underlined text from a PDF, added text to the text box which is underlined, used CTRL + SHIFT to drag a copy of the text box, deleted the text, and then re-entered text.
I don't see the underlined bullet points in this test either. If this is occurring with every slide, would you mind sharing a screen recording with us?

Hi Todd!
Thank you for sharing those additional details!

Thomas, I was having this same issue today. I tried applying the shape style as you recommended... PERFECT. Thanks for this very simple solution!
