Text alignment bug in buttons and input text boxes ignoring font styles

One of the most annoying bugs I frequently experience with Storyline, which has been carried over to SL 64bit! Is the text align in buttons, shifting to the top of a button when published, and the text in input boxes, ignoring the font styles you have set. We can sometimes mean, multiple re-publishes to Review360 until the content looks like it does in the authoring tool. This is so frustrating. It would be great to see the back of this bug. Imagine waiting 20mins for a huge course to publish an upload to R360 to find this bug, and just have to start the publish process again, and cross your fingers.

wonky text in a button

That text is center/middle aligned in Storyline.

Input box in Storyline:

Input box with text formatted at around 12 point

Here's that same input box after publishing to review 360:

Input box published to review 360 showing text at around 20 point

I just want to finish work. I'll keep publishing, and keep crossing my digits, but it's hit and miss whether it will be formatted correctly!

Thanks so much for sharing what you're experiencing, Sam and Phil! Sorry to hear you've both run into this snag before.

I recreated the Text Entry and Button in a brand new .story file in Storyline 64-bit, and currently, I'm unable to replicate it. Here's a quick look at my sample published to Review 360.

I'd love to take a closer look at your .story file, Sam! I'm curious to see your setup and see if I can replicate this with your file on my end. You can upload the project to this thread or privately in a support case.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🎉

Thanks for the response. It is a very random occurrence, and so it is
probably difficult to setup a test, but I will see what I can do.

I'm and not using SL64 for production whilst it is in BETA. Please use SL32
for testing this issue as I'm unaware of the issue remains in SL64.

Thanks,
Sam
