Scroll bars appearing with Accessible Text when text boxes are set to Resize Shape to Fit Text
I'm having the same issue. I found this nice article that helped me understand what toggling Accessible Text on and off is actually doing and why it looks different - https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-Accessible-Text
But it doesn't address the issue I'm seeing, which is that despite the fact the text box is set to Expand Height to Autofit, it's adding scrollbars instead. The solution of "make the box big enough to accommodate shifts in the text" isn't a helpful answer because I'm not setting the the size of the box, Storyline is automatically expanding the size of the box through the Autofit > Expand Height option.
Hi Brian,
The article that you shared also goes on to explain why you're seeing the scrollbars for your text boxes.
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 its spacing are 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.
If you'd be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case, I'll be glad to test if increasing the size of the text boxes in your project will work to remove the scrollbars across all major browsers.
