Storyline crashes
Nov 27, 2012
Hi I am simply trying to copy (using CTL C) a text box from one slide to another. Storyline crashes everytime. I have already lost an entire recording and had to do it again!
Also editing the text in the speech bubbles or rectangles causes some peculiar things to happen -like the cursor appearing 3 characters to the left of the actual text being altered! The text boxes seem to change size randomly when you are typing or viewing the result. Needs a little looking at by your guru I think.

Hi Louise,
The last part may be due to the auto-resize function that is set by default. It will change your text-size or your object siez automatically
This is how you can changes it
The fact that your cursor is off-set to the editing position may strange enough be linked to the colour depth in your computer settings. There are quite a few posts on this in the forum, check for 'color depth'
The first part is a bit more tricky.
Are you using the last version of SL, in august there was an upgrade ?
Try deleting your local temporary file, they me produce garble and lockup/crash SL
(%user%\AppData\Local\Temp\Articulate)
Hope it helped

Thanks for answering so fast Geert! I will change the text box settings as you suggest. Yes - I am using the latest version of Storyline but it may be that I just need to re-boot. Will check out the colour depth issue as you have sparked interest in what that is about anyway! If I can find my temporary file then I shall delete it - are you sure I won't be deleting something vital?

Hi Louise,
there's issue deleting these temporary files. Even when SL is publishing.
