I created a template in a new Storyline 2 project by altering the Master Slides slightly. I added some simple shapes and modified the text boxes within. I did not otherwise alter the settings of the master slides. I made similar alterations to the Feedback Masters as well.
Now, when I create a new slide, regardless of the Layout I choose, when I add a layer, it hides the base layer. I haven't checked that box in the Layer Properties.
I create new layers by duplicating the base layer and then hiding any elements I don't want to see...I think there are other ways of doing it but that works for me.
So in your project I created a new slide by selecting a layout from the Insert New Slide > Basic layouts - once I had the base layout I duplicated the base layout and de-selected the dim option in the slide panel and then created the content I wanted on the new layer.
I see. Frankly, I am inclined to believe that your work process is not what caused not only your slide but also all of my original slides to start behaving correctly.
I suspect that my Storyline 2 install has something to do with it. I further suspect that whatever is right in your install repaired whatever is wrong in my install. Or it may be something that I did with my slide masters that the unaltered slide masters on your install rectified.
I think there's more to this. Thank you for your efforts on my behalf.
Well, I figured it out. It was my user error. Somehow I had managed to set a solid background on the Feedback Masters and that was what was creating the issue.

Happy to have a look if you want to upload the .story file
All right, thanks Wendy.
Hi Gregg
have a look at scene 2 where I have created a slide with a layer, then change the layout and see if it behaves how you are expecting it to.
Thank you, I do see that it works now, but I am still clueless on what the issue is.

Thanks again for your help.
Thanks for the update Gregg! Glad that you were able to get that sorted.
