Trigger panel display is corrupted

Jul 10, 2019

Is it just me, or is anyone else seeing this type of visual corruption in the trigger panel?

My mixed up trigger panel

This is not the worst example by any means.  

The panel appears like this most of the time, until I use the 'collapse' and then 'uncollapse' button.  It is incredibly irritating...

Any thoughts anyone??

Hi, I haven't experienced it but from time to time other users have had issues. Try doing a save as of your file and seeing if the new version still has the same issues. Also check if you are up to date with Storyline updates. 

I'd also open a new story to see if it happens with a new story or if it's just this one.

The Articulate support team can assist, and they have a place where you can upload the story in private.

If you are experiencing this issue on new projects as well as this one, you could also try uninstalling Storyline and reinstalling it.

Hi Leslie

Yes undocking and re-docking does clear the problem as does collapsing and uncollapsing the panel.  This problem does seem more prevalent when moving a trigger up the 'list'.

As I just mentioned to Noel (above), I am using v3.27.18822.0 as later versions have caused Copy and Paste to stop working.

Please let me know if you hear any news on either of the above as I am slowly going crazy here! :-)

Hi again Leslie

I have a suspicion that this (garbled triggers panel) problem is occurring when there is more than one instance of SL open at any time.

I realised that I had not seen the problem as I was working on one file.  But it reared its ugly head again and I had recently opened another file in a separate instance.

I closed both and re-started SL and the problem has not (so far) manifested itself in the single file I have open.

I guess the resources of Windows must get stretched when there is more than one copy of a programme open?

Hi Tom,

Not to worry - all bug fixes released in Storyline 360 will make their way into the next update of Storyline 3. Our team is finishing up some final checks and tweaks on that update, and it's currently looking like we'll be ready to roll that out mid-September. Once we know for sure, we'll pop back into these discussions to share!
