Resizing quiz items inserts scroll panel
Hi there:
I just completed a quiz question and while I was in screen view, I used the text box corner controls to resize the text box the answers appear in but instead a scrolling panel appeared in the answers and now only potential response is showing.
I didn't insert a scrolling panel. When I click "edit multiple choice", the question, responses and feedback look perfectly fine but the responses aren't displaying and I can't seem to delete the scrolling panel (not even sure how it got there).

Update: I was starting from scratch and now I realize the scroll box inserts automatically if the text is too long. Thing is I often have to test by giving 4 short scenarios so I may run out of room however the answers CAN fit comfortably on a screen. See the picture below....I want to use the text box handles to resize but it seems they don't respond. Is there any way to resize the area allowed for responses?

Good Afternoon Kate, and welcome to Heroes!
In order to make room for a number of lengthy multiple choice responses within one quiz slide, you will likely need to reduce the font size of each choice. From Slide View, you can CTRL+click to select several choices and adjust the font as you see fit, then move and resize each choice to allow space for others.
Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks!

I had this issue today. Apparently nothing was done about this bug. It's still there and annoying as hell. Here's my post on a similar thread with video about what I'm talking about:
Hi Martin,
Did you review the previous information in that thread from Roman that he received in his support case? If you'd like, we can also take a look at your .story file here in the forums by using the "Add Attachment" button or you can send along to our team here.
Let us know if you're able to go through the steps Roman mentioned as well.

This problem still exists after 5 years. For some reasons sometimes, I can extend the text box and other times, I can try to extend it as much as possible and it shrinks back to one line. Any more on this subject?
Hey Daniel,
It's been a while since we've seen posts about resizing those quiz items causing trouble. Sorry that you ran into this, but glad you reached out.
I have a few questions:
- What version of Storyline are you using?
- Any particular question type that is causing an issue?
- Are you using a custom theme/background?
If you could get back to me on those and then share a sample .story file, that would be very helpful and I'd be happy to take a look.

This is with Storyline 360.
The question are True or false, and multiple choice.
The text and all the questions appear normally at the beginning. But if I add an image, and I resize the text box, it suddenly shrinks to one line. And I can't put it back to full size (even if there is plenty of space on the page).
The work around I found was to change the layout applied to the slide and choose the question layout master.
I have adjusted the layout of these pages and created a specific master page.Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this work around. I was struggling with this same issue today and your solution fixed the issue for me as well.

Thank you for the workaround, Daniel. Very helpful when these things crop up.
Hi Daniel,
Are you trying to resize and answer text boxes? I know that's something a few other users have run into, and it's connected to how the questions are laid out automatically based on the font sizing, font, and the text wrapping. This is set up so that the answers can shuffle and keep the same distance between them.
I'm happy to hear you were able to adjust your question layout to account for this, but if you need anything else let us know!
Hi Daniel,
Looks like Ashley and I were thinking about this at the same time.
I'm not able to re-create what you're describing:
I am glad that you've found a way around what you are seeing.
Let us know if we need to take a look at anything.
