the spacing between menu items problem
May 23, 2018
Hi,
I'm working on a project the menu requires long menu titles, but it does not seem to group them normally.
I used text-wrap but still there seems to be a gap as wide as the next menu item, wich makes it tricky for readability.
in the player preview display it seems to be displayed correctly, but the actual menu this seems to be unaffected. (you can find the 2 attached of this png's)
Is there something i'm overlooking or a fix for this ?
Kind Regards,
Michael Claessens

Hi there, Michael. I'm sorry you're impacted here. The good news is we've got this one on our radar. I'll add this discussion to our report so we can update you with new information.
This bug is happening in the HTML5 output, but the Player Preview uses Flash, currently. That explains the difference you're seeing. If you're able to publish for Flash / HTML5 fallback, that might reduce the number of users who struggle with the spacing.
I'll keep you posted!
Not many browsers support Flash anymore (or LMS systems for that matter). Hate to say it but I feel like Articulate dropped the ball a bit here on the Flash deprecation preparedness.
Hi Justin,
While it's fair to say lots of browsers have started to block Flash by default, they still will allow it. We know that Flash is slowly dying, and Adobe plans to end all support in 2020. Not to worry, we're targetting that same timeline and you can read a bit more about our plans here.
Hi everyone, any word on this? My organization has to publish in HTML5, that space is a big issue for me too.
Hi Richard,
I'm sorry I don't currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
Same problem here: With the way menu items wrap, the second line looks like a separate slide. Any way to adjust the leading between the first and second line, or indent the second line?
Hello John!
I see in your screenshot that it does, in fact, look like a separate slide the way the title is displayed in the Menu! That could be confusing for users.
At this moment, I don't have a timeline to share on the progress of this bug where extra space appears between longer Slide Titles in the Menu. In the meantime, since we are still tracking customer impact I'm going to share your screenshot and comments in the bug report.
When we hear of an update, we'll report back to this discussion! Thanks for taking the time to share these details with us, John.
