scrolling text entry boxes

I am feeling sad that I have no responses to my question.  I wont take it personally but I could use some help

Hi Gordon,

No one wants you to be sad - but it was a Sunday afterall.

Can you share your .story file here so that we can take a look as I'm not able to replicate it. When I insert a "data entry field (text)" and then type text into it with the settings "wrap text" and "not autofit" I'm able to type and the scrolling panel appears automatically once I hav exceeded the size. 

If you'd prefer to share your file privately, please feel free to share it with our Support team. 

Thanks so much for your reply Ashley.  I have attached a copy of the slide in question. Let me know if you discover where I went astray.

Gordon,

Try inserting a scrolling panel and then drag your text box into the newly created scrolling panel.  I just did this with your file and I was able to get the text to wrap.

Hi Clint,

Are you able to share the file you created here with Gordon? I tested this the other day Gordon, and was able to get it to work - but now it's not working within your file, and I can't figure out why. 

Thanks Clint. It seems that the problem was when I created the text entry boxes I made them the same size as the scrolling box. So it didn't know to scroll; the text entry box wasn't 'long enough'

Interestingly, with multiple text entry boxes on a page, the one on the highest layer is automatically active.  So when I launch the page, the cursor is already in the first box blinking.  Is there a way to not do that? Can I not have the cursor in a box on launch? I attached the updated file to show what I mean.

Hi Gordon, 

The cursor appears in whichever box is at the top of your timeline layout. I have not seen anyone remove the flashing cursor - but I suspect there is someone in the community with an idea on how to do it. 

Hello,

Did anyone figure out how to not show the blinking cursor? I'm trying to build a test with multiple fields, and the point is to know which field you put the search data in. The blinking cursor obviously gives it away.

Thanks.

Amy

Hi Amy,

I haven't seen any method to remove it yet, but you may want to connect directly with Gordon to see if he had some different information.
