Text entry font continuity
Mar 24, 2015
Can anyone tell me why the font size and offset of a text entry field changes so much between the editor, and in preview (published, too) between initial text and when the user enters text - and whether there's something I can do to avoid the issue? It's making things look really ugly...
I've attached a sample file, and screenshots showing the variation on the text.
1) within the application (the size and position I want)
2) within the preview showing initial typed value (notice it's now smaller and offset to the top left)
3) within the preview showing user-entered text (2px lower and 7px right of the initial value)
I can mess around moving it in the editor and checking in preview until it's 'right' when published, but if it's going to change between the initial text and the text the user then enters, it's never going to look good! Help? :(

Hi Erin!
This is actually an issue that our QA Team is aware of and working on. Changing the font helps in many of these cases as a workaround, and Calibri looks good in your project as a suggestion.
Wondeful thank you - that's great to know, and your example does work a lot better :) Ironically I would probably have used Calibri or Segoe UI, but I thought it might behave better if I let it use its favourite default font ;)
Thank you!
No problem Erin. Glad that will help you in the meantime :)
