Hyperlink hover effect on text that breaks over lines
When I create a hyperlink that breaks over more than one line using the Hyperlink feature it only activates the hover effect over one line per time rather than over the whole string of text. Can someone help me with this problem?
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share some good news! We are no longer seeing the bug where a hyperlink line extends past the characters if the linked text reaches a line break (Storyline version 3.72.29699.0).
To confirm or update your version of Storyline:
- Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your Windows machine.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to Storyline 360 and select Other Versions.
- Here you will see the current version being used, or have the option to update.
Please let us know if you're still encountering the issue and we'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you in a support case.
Hi everyone!
I see there is some confusion with this bug! It is fixed in Storyline 360 Update 36 (Build 3.36.21213.0). If you are still hitting this snag and on an older version of Storyline 360, we recommend updating your Articulate 360 desktop app.
hi, I have version 3.37.21453.0 installed and this bug is still in existence.
Hi Karen!
Thanks for returning with an update! Unfortunately, I was able to recreate this bug as well in Storyline 360 Update 37 (Build 3.37.21453.0). I've added your comments to our active report.
I'll report back to this discussion when I have an update!

Hi everyone!
We just released Hyperlink States in Storyline 360 (Build 3.46.23620.0) today. This feature includes the bug fix where the line would break when hovering over a hyperlink!
You can head over to our release notes to see the other features and fixes in this update.
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!
Hi,
I have a similar issue, though I am using Storyline 360 v3.54, where there is an extra underline in a hyperlink exactly where the line breaks. I have removed the extra underline by deselecting the U button. It works for normal state, but on hover the extra underline is still appearing.
Even if I remove the underline from Hyperlink > Modify option in the Text style section, then also the extra underline appears on mouse rollout.
Please advise.
Hello Tanmay!
Thanks for including a .story file and a screenshot! I also noticed the same on my end, where the space after "be" is underlined after the word is hovered over. As a workaround, you might consider having the entire linked text on one line.
I'll share this with my team for awareness as well!
