Shapes moving out of alignment in preview mode

Hi Larry,

Thanks for reaching out here - this discussion is a bit older, so I had to dig a little bit further back, but I found the issue as reported in SL1, and I was able to replicate it as you mentioned within Storyline 2 and 360. Part of the issue seems to lie in the way in which I have to crop the original image to make the fourth of the pie and then get them to line up again, and that continued duplicate of the first image causes it to be more noticeable by the time I'm trying to line up the third duplicate.

Our team does continue to monitor the way issues such as this impact our customers and figuring out how a change might fit in with other priorities--so likely based on the time passed on this one, it seems it didn't rise to the top. I did report this anew to our QA team for Storyline 360 and determine if we can get a bit more information about the cause and ways in which it could be fixed. I'll be back in touch here once I have any additional insight to share, so I appreciate your patience on that! 

I'm interested in a solution to this as well. I like to build objects in storyline 2, and it's frustrating to spend time on something only to have pieces of it shift when previewed/published.  I have uploaded an example of a target I made. When I preview, the arrow pieces are not lined up right any more. It seems more frequently to be objects that I've rotated. Is anyone else seeing that trend?

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for sharing your file with us, and I'm sorry this is causing you headaches. I can see how the arrow in your image is not centered with the target in Preview mode. 

It’s definitely helpful to understand how many folks are experiencing this bug and how often they encounter it, as that helps us prioritize our development resources. We’re still working on this bug, and we’ll definitely let you know when we know more. You'll be notified of updates since you're now subscribed to this thread. 

Hello, I am experiencing the same issue with Articulate 360 - the shape looks fine in edit mode but when I preview it is out of alignment. I've published the course for testers and they have noticed it as well.

Thanks for letting us know, Adrienne. I'll be sure to add your experience to the report. And now that you're subscribed to this thread, you'll be notified as soon as we share more information here. :)

I have a related issue but with line arrows only. They are placed exactly where needed in edit and preview mode but when published and viewed in HTML5, the arrows appear in a different area on the screen (attached).

 I also tried to group it with another image on the arrow and yet is separates on screen which doesn't make any sense.

Hi Sandra,

There is still an open issue with our QA team in regards to this behavior, but I did notice taking a look at your images that it appeared you were viewing the content off of your H drive? I wanted to double check if you're able to see the same thing when you've edited and published the content locally, and then viewed in the intended publish environment - as working on a network or shared drive on the .story files is known to cause some odd behaviors and ultimately file corruption while viewing the published content locally could also cause things to not display as expected. 

If you'd like us to take a look at your file to confirm, we’d be happy too. You’ll want to upload the .story file here (which is the file prior to publishing) using the “ADD ATTACHMENT” button at the bottom of the forums reply window. If you’d prefer to not share in the public forums you’re always welcome to share with our Support Engineers here. They’re available 24/7 to assist! 

Thanks Sandra - try publishing locally as well next time, and then take a look at the published output on your LMS to see if the same thing occurs. If you're not ready to  upload to your LMS you can also look at testing at SCORM Cloud which is an industry standard for LMS testing. Let us know if you have another file you want us to take a look at and we're happy to do so! 

I have somewhat of the same issue in SL2.  I build a state, say a box.  Add text on or aside the box/state. Go to preview and the text moves to the other side of the screen, WHAT THE HECK??!!!. Grouped or not, but... the orange box and text function (stays in place as it should) update for this bug?
