Textbox behavior
Mar 29, 2015

I have encountered the following problem.
I create a textbox. I enter some text. I highlight it or, use a special style, e. g. strikeout. This displays correctly with highlight strikeout etc. e.g. Hello.
However...
when I add a variable to the text e.g. Hello %StudentName%
then the highlight or strikeout disappears.
Any ideas welcome. Thank you.

Hi Andrew!
Is this something that you notice when publishing to HTML5 or are you seeing this with your Flash output as well?
Hi Andrew,
If you're applying the formatting and the variable reference in the same text box, the variable reference's formatting will apply to the entire text box.
Hello Andrew!
I did a test and i do see that this is only with highlight and Strike through. It does keep bold, italic, underline and Shadow. I will share this with the QA team for review.
Hello Emily and Andrew,
I would like to know if you received an answer regarding this issue? We are experiencing the same situation on our side right now.
Please let me know.
Thank you!
Hi Cynthia!
