Scroll bars appearing with Accessible Text when text boxes are set to Resize Shape to Fit Text

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing. We do not have recommended specs, but you'd want to ensure that the bounding box can accommodate the text.

The accessible text is HTML text, and different browsers treat HTML text differently. As a result, there may be variations in line and character spacing across browsers even when learners don't change text properties.

Since some browsers add more spacing than others, you might see an unexpected scroll bar in some text boxes, such as slide titles. This happens when the text plus spacing is bigger than the bounding box. If you want to avoid scroll bars in default accessible text, you can increase the height of the text box to account for differences in spacing across browsers.
