Scrollbars still not working in text entry boxes
Hi all.
Are there any plans to make scrollbars work in text entry boxes? This has been an issue for about 6 months now.
I've got 'Add scroll bars' selected in the 'Overflow handling' options, but no scroll bar appears. I've attached an example Storyline file.
I'm using the latest version of Storyline 360.
Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we just released a new update for Storyline 360!
In version 3.107.35958.0 we included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:
- A scrollbar didn't appear as expected when text overflowed
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Astutis!
We have this logged as a software bug where scrollbars don't appear when text entry overflows when using the Modern Player! This hasn't been prioritized for an upcoming release, but I'll let you know when it is slated for an update.
I have exactly this problem. Will this eventually be fixed? Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear you're also hitting this snag, Stephanie. Understanding how many folks are experiencing this bug is helpful in prioritizing our development resources. I informed our product team of your experience, and we'll let you know once a fix is in place.
In the meantime, you can use the Storyline Classic player if the scrollbar is a must. This bug is not observed when using the Classic player. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
Plus one to this. Shame it's not prioritized.
I usually use this JavaScript code for enabling scrollbars in multiline text entry fields. While it’s not a perfect solution, it does improve the experience. Hopefully, Articulate will address this in an upcoming update!
const TextAreaScrollbar = () => { const textAreas = document.querySelectorAll('.acc-textinput'); textAreas.forEach(textArea => { textArea.style.scrollbarWidth = 'thin'; }); }; setTimeout(TextAreaScrollbar, 100);Hi Everyone!
