Format painter not working

Hi, Dakota.

Thank you for reaching out and for including a screencast and a .story file. Which version of Storyline are you currently using?

The format painter will not delete states, only add or update existing ones. 

I couldn't replicate the issue of not copying a new hover state, but one suggestion when copying states from textboxes is to make sure you are clicking the textbox's outside frame instead of inside the text. 

Let me know if this works!
