Default textbox auto resize
Hey there everyone,
The new implementation of text boxes to only have scrolling, fit width, and fit height to Storyline has broken some of our template designs, as we relied on the auto-resize to ...
Hi Hour-Zero,
I'm sorry to hear it's been a frustrating weekend! To help clarify, Lauren was referring to the backup version that was created when the option to upgrade the project text came up.
Once you switch in your current file, there's no way to revert or turn off the feature. We've received feedback on the trouble that this new feature has presented for upgraded projects and I wanted to recap here:
When a project is upgraded to use text autofit enhancements, unexpected scroll bars sometimes appear. These scrollbars are due to text areas having extra lines, text, or other elements that overflow the bounds or margins of the shape.
These tips will help avoid these issues:
- Remove blank lines at the end of the text box: Check that the end of your text is indeed the end; otherwise, Storyline will assume that an extra line needs to be read, and a scroll bar will appear.
- Remove extra margin space in the text within shapes: Extra margin space can cause text to overflow the bounds of the shape. Remove that extra margin space by right-clicking on the shape and formatting the Text Box to remove unnecessary margins.
