Stubborn states… (not changing size automatically)

Last week I started developing a ‘story’. In this story there will be many text boxes with different states. There is a difference in behavior of the textboxes created last week and the textboxes of this week.

When I change the size of an ‘old’ text box all the state sizes will follow. Which is what I want and which is normal (I suppose).

Newer textboxes have a different behaviour. Changing the size of the textbox… changes only the size of the Normal state. The other states keep their old size. The same happens when I create a completely new textbox with all new states in the attached file (OLD.story): only the Normal state changes when I change the size.

When I create a new textbox in exactly the same way in a completely new file: all the states change when I change the size of the textbox (See attached file: NEW.story).

Both files use the new textbox format.

So sometime, somewhere, somehow… something has changed in the old file. I’m trying to figure out what it could be for quite a few hours already... I cannot find any differences between the 2 files or the settings of the textboxes, fonts, player, etc.

Does anyone know what could cause this behaviour? Do I make a mistake somewhere? Is it a bug? Is it an update? (I tried previous Storyline versions – but the problem remains). Is there a way to reset a story line file? Or to reset a textbox? Or to link states to each other? Did anyone have this problemor something similar as well? How did you solve it? Etc.

Please come with help or advices.
