Rise Bullet Points in Flash Cards

Hi There,

I am having constant trouble with the formatting of bullet points in Flash Cards. For some reason, it doesn't matter what font size I select, the bullet points will randomly change to any size. If i have 2 flip cards next to each other with the same font size in each, why are the bullet points different sizes?

Is there any way that this could be fixed. I have tried everything from retyping the text, to deleting the block and re-adding it. I have even pasted the text in Word as plain text and copied it back over to Rise - yet still there is inconsistencies with bullet point sizes.

Thank You

    I have a solution that is related to my previous video about how to change bullet colors, the incorrect sizing of these bullets in flash cards is closely related. It requires using your debug tool in your browser, I recommend using either Chrome or Firefox. I put both examples in this video, and added a sweet ambient song. Sincerely, Phil (Bullet Boy)

      Phil - you are officially my hero of the day, week, month...and maybe beyond!  Thank you so much for this video. Seriously, you can't imagine the time I've spent trying to fix or work around  this - and all were fails. Much gratitude for your time and talent in figuring this out AND providing a video to walk us through it.  : )

        Phil is my hero too! I can't believe I was able to fix the same issue by following your video!  Thank you VERY much!

    In addition to bullet size, apparently the initial text also permanently sets the line spacing. I just spent an hour trying to fix it before I finally found this thread and attempted to give both flashcards the same starting text. (It worked.)

    What a bizarre feature.

    Hi Jarred,

    I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated with how Rise is handling font sizes in Flash Cards.

    Basically, how it works is that Rise automatically adapts the font size based on the amount of text present. The more text there is, the smaller the font size. However, you can manually control the font size by selecting it when you're in the Edit screen and then choosing the font size you want to appear.

    I hope that makes sense! If not just let me know. :)

    Hi Allison

    Thank you for your response.

    Yes, I have adjusted the font sizes to 16px, however this does not change the size of the bullets.

    Thanks

      Hi Jarred,

      Do you mean the actual size of the dots? Or the size of the associated text?

    The actual size of the dots are not consistent throughout the flashcards. In 1 card they will be small and in another they will be large - though all the text is the same size throughout. See an image attached showing this.

    Thanks

      It looks like the bullet points on the left may be taking on the size of the header text instead of the size of the bullet point text. Have you tried changing the entire text to the smaller size and then changing the header size back afterwards?

    I have yes. You can see an example attached were I have selected all the text and made it all the same size. The bullet size stays large.

    I just wanted to see if there were any updates.  I'm having the same issue.

      Hi there, Marnee. On flashcards, the font size is initially set based on the amount of text. Bullet size is then set based on the initial size of the font. While you can adjust the font size after you enter the text, the bullet formatting isn't available to resize.

    Hi there, Meredith! While you can adjust the font size, there isn't a way to adjust the bullet size in a flashcard block. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

    Experiencing the same issue with the bullets being huge...frustrating that manually setting the font-size doesn't apply to the bullet size as well and a CSS hack is required (as seems to be the case for a number of formatting issues).

    This issue still exists. Having the same problem. I created a whole new flash card with fresh formatting and it still happened. There was no header text on this card ever, but yet my bullets are huge in comparison to my text size.
