Shapes change alignment in preview mode
BarbaraEdwar395: Weird—especially since the inner circle isn't centered in its bounding box.
As the staff would say, be sure you're working with the Storyline file on your local hard drive. (Because: working over a network can corrupt a file.)
You might also want to quit and then relaunch Storyline. (Because: gremlins.)
Then, try this: Delete those objects, and create new ones. (It's amazing how many "quirks" go away on a do-over.)
Potential workarounds so you only need one object:
- Line up the circles in editing mode, and then use Merge Shapes to combine them.
- Insert the smaller circle directly into the Normal state of the bigger circle.
- Create the concentric-circle effect by filling the big circle with a "gradient" fill that shifts from green to white at the desired intervals.

Solution: I inserted a smaller circle directly into the normal state of the larger circle.
Thanks!
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
BTW, inserting objects directly into the state of another object can be a great way to avoid the issues that sometimes occur when using a Group in an interaction. It's also a good way to ensure that an icon and the space around it are clickable.
