Misplaced cursor with numeric entry fields
OK, finally figured out that this is something with my screen(s). Both my laptop and my monitor are showing the cursor in the wrong place. But I had two people test in our LMS, and it's showing correctly. I don't know how many users will have the same issue I do, but I don't know what else to do but move forward.
Some things to try:
Zoom: If the slide is even slightly zoomed (e.g., 99%, 101%), the cursor can visually drift while the text entry stays correct.
Set the slide zoom to 100%
Re-preview and test again
Font: Cursor misalignment can appear if the font metrics change.
Open the numeric entry field
Confirm that the font hasn’t changed and the font size is a whole number (not 11.5, etc.)
Try briefly switching to a common system font (Arial, Calibri) to test
Browser: If this only appears in published output, make sure testers are not using browser zoom ≠ 100% or OS display scaling ≠ 100% (Windows especially)
Try testing it in another browser.
