In Storyline, is it normal for this to happen: upon clicking in a text box to edit the text, the text shifts up and to the left. With the non-Articulate font, the text changes size too. Then when I click out of the text box, the font size and shifting go back to normal.
Hi ID, the text edior does behave this way so you are not doing anything wrong. For best results make sure you have screen view set to 100%. (this is set using the slider at the bottom right of Storyline.
Wow! I just tried working in 100% as Nancy suggested and the text doesn't shift. No wonder I didn't notice this before. I was previously working in 110%. So it looks to me that if you are working in any mode smaller or larger than 100%, you get the distracting shift. I'd say this is a bug and for people with poor eyesight who need the screen enlarged, it's a problem. But at least there's a solution for many. Thanks, Nancy.
Articulate Presenter was the same way so this has been around with Articulate for a long time so not sure it's ever going to be resolved but certainly something you can add as a feature request. http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature
Well thank you for the tip on viewing at 100%, I guess I could decrease my screen resolution for maximum enlargement, but that would be pretty annoying. Here's another question though, why does the text box have a different size font size than the actual highlighted text inside of it? Now that really is distracting!
Hi David and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Glad you were able to find an answer in the forums (hate that it was out of frustration). As stated above, you can submit your feature request here.

Sorry to be a bit of a brat but this really is not a feature request. It is a bug. The development team already knows about it so not really sure what the value is in asking people to make a feature request unless it is to drive home the fact that is annoying to a lot of people.

I will try that. Thanks. It's a little distracting, huh?
It sure is - this is something I hope they fix in the next release.

Would like to add my voice too. This is really annoying and makes it difficult to do layout design.

Wow, this was driving me nuts! Thanks for the answer, but I have to echo the urgency of getting this fixed in the future.

It is to be a voice Nancy, just providing an avenue.
