Bullet color insists on white!

Hello John!

You can use the drop down in the bullets and numbering to change only the bullet color, and not the text. However when you select the text and change the color, the bullets will change along with it. I have not seen the issue with the bottom bullet being a different color than the rest in Storyline 2.

If you do come across this again, you could share your file for us to take a look.

Julia, you just saved me! I'd tried EVERYTHING else, but your shift/right arrow trick did it! THANK YOU!

Glad this thread was able to assist you as well Beth :)

This is still an issue - especially when copying text from another file into Storyline 2. It would be very nice to see this bug resolved. 

Hi Greg!

This thread is a bit dated and I just did a copy/paste from Powerpoint into SL2 and the bullet color was retained, so can you share a bit about what you are having difficulty with?

Hi Leslie,

Yes it is dated but it seems to be only one of several dated threads related to this same issue (as is the case with many lingering and unresolved SL issues). So it was an arbitrary decision on my part to post here rather than somewhere else, but I'd be happy to post in another thread if that helps

Anyway, my issue is actually that when copying text from another document (say in black) and pasting it into a SL textbox that is formatted for white text  - the text is white, but the bullets are black. No amount of highlighting text in different  directions, or adding/removing bullets, or looking for hidden characters on a line resolves this. My only solution is to open the bullet options and manually change the color of each offending bullet (ok, but not ideal).

It was perfectly fine to post here Greg and I appreciate the details as this allowed me to replicate the behavior you are reporting. I'm going to share this with the QA Team.

I find this to be sort of endemic throughout software. I've had this problem in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Captivate as well as others. It must be really difficult to code this to get the bullet color to always align with the bullet. I think it has to do with whether you are adding a bulleted item, filling in a line of text on a bullet that already exists, or are backspacing upwards to remove bullets. Word is particularly bothersome about this. 

Interesting connection, Jim! We're still working through this, but I appreciate you letting us know that you've seen it elsewhere, too. 

I will, thanks, Alyssa:)
