Help with auto collapsing text box/ size cannot be adjusted

Hello! 
My colleague is creating a quiz in Storyline360 and is encountering an issue. In the screenshots above, you can see what the text box should look like and what it looks like after she leaves the program and comes back in to continue her work. The text box auto-shrinks, and the size cannot be edited. I will list below the things I have tried to fix this. Thank you in advance to any help resolving this matter. 

1. Disable Auto-Resize for Text Boxes:

  • Select the Text Box → Right-click → Format Shape
  • Go to Text Box settings
  • Change Text Autofit to Do Not Autofit
  • Manually adjust the size of the text box as needed

2. Lock the Text Box Size

  • Select the Text Box
  • In the Size & Position panel, uncheck Autosize
  • Manually set a fixed width and height

 

  • Hi anelson274,

    Happy to help!
    Based on the screenshots, it's difficult to say precisely what's causing the question items to resize. Does your colleague work locally when making edits to the course? Do they save the project before stepping away from the computer for extended periods? 

    One troubleshooting step you can do is to import your slides to a new project file whenever this issue happens. Doing so will help reset the positions of objects in a slide. If importing doesn't help, please share a copy of your project file here or privately by opening a support case so we can look closely at what's happening. We'll delete it when we're done testing!
