resizing Question-Choices doesn't work

I used Cleo's suggestion and apparently I had a text placeholder box that wasn't the standard one used when creating a new question slide - e.g. the textbox where the actual question goes. This seemed to break the multiple response box for some ridiculous reason. So, now that I am using the text input box that was auto generated, I can now adjust the size of the response box. Pretty dumb issue. Thanks for the support, but seeing this is a 3 year old issue and nothing has been done, that's pretty nuts. Hope the Articulate geeks can find the time to fix this bug.

Thanks Martin for following through those steps and providing us an update here. I'll pass along your reply here to Cleo so that it can be included as a part of the case. 

This is STILL an issue, why has nothing been done to fix this?

Hello, I just wanted to say that I experienced the same issue when I incorporated my own templates.  As suggested early on in this chain, I went to the master slide and changed the "Autofit" option of the text box to "Do not autofit".  That being said, we shouldn't have to go through this timestaking excersice to resize the box and it's contents.

This problem persists, but Marcela's solution does work.
