Variable moves position in text box on top of other text

Hi Stephen,

Have you tried inserting the variable's reference directly in the "Create a folder shape" instead of inserting an additional text box? I'm attaching a quick story I put together where I did just that. If you test it, you'll see that the name inserts just fine. If you have further questions and can't sort out what I mean just by looking at the story, please holler!

Thanks Rebecca for going to all that effort,

My text is all in the text field associated with the caption shape. No additional Text box was used.

I have this option quite often in Storyline where if I add a variable mid sentence on a new line it doesn't display correctly.

I'm surprised no one else has had this issue. I searched and searched for it but could not find it in the forums.

On further testing I have found the issue only happen when animating text in the caption box. I used the fade in by paragraph option. If the animation is removed it displays correctly.

Ah...the plot thickens! Yes, I get the same results. There are a number of reports of odd things happening with animation by paragraph. Not sure if there's a workaround for this problem. Perhaps you'd like to report it?
