Scroll bar not appearing in text entry fields
Hi there.
When using a text entry field the scrollbar isn't appearing.
I'm using the latest version of Storyline 360 on Windows 10.
I've attached an example.
Hi Everyone!

Thanks for reaching out, and I appreciate you sharing your file!
We have this logged with our team where the scroll bar isn't displayed in a text entry field when using the Modern Player. However, the scroll bar does appear when using the Classic Player. I've linked this discussion to our bug report, so you'll get notified of any new updates.
Thanks Becca. I need to use the modern player for this project, so will have to wait for an update with a fix.
It's pretty clear that this is a bug in the modern player. Paste in long text to the text entry area.
Modern: Doesn't work

Classic: works fine.

Seems ridiculous since scrollbars are a standard accessible feature built into browsers.
Hi Tim.
Yes, it's unfortunate that they didn't fix it for the latest update. Hopefully they're working on it for the next update, as it's not a very good user experience.
It is odd, fortunately the mouse wheel works, but it's not intuitive. Has anyone found a work around?
