Storyline 360 - Animate In By Paragraph Missing Words and Lines
I'm encountering a super frustrating bug in Storyline 360.
Whenever I use the Animate In By Paragraph option, there is a chance that it will either;
Completely skips lines in the paragraph,

- Hi everyone!I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.70.29211.0)! In this update, we've released the fix for the bug where text boxes that animate by paragraph might not load consistently.Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app! If you run into any issues, please reach out to us by submitting a support case!
This is exactly as my thoughts! No single solution, but anything you do for the text box might or might not solve the problem temporary. Testing after any change and phase is just too time consuming and this issue is really making us work difficult. In projects where there is only one language version, we could even think putting each text on its own box, but this does not work when you working with close to twenty language versions.
I have almost give up the hope for getting this fixed by the service provider!
I recently had to make a 90 minute module with both standard and accessible versions, and this bug made the review process nearly impossible. I'm currently trying to publish a simple linear course, and the bug is just appearing left, right, and centre.
The worst part is when I'm publishing to SCORM and lock the seekbar, I have to watch the entire module and just hope that it doesn't happen. And if it does, I have to re-publish it and watch the ENTIRE module again just to see if its fixed, or if any other text bugs have appeared. And I've not found a way to unlock the seekbar from read only when it's already been published to SCORM so that I can quickly review it.
I don't really want to have to watch the same module over and over again when I know that it has been reviewed and I simply just need to publish it.
It's been over a year and not a single worthwhile peep from Articulate has been offered. Articulate, please stop adding new features, and actually iron out all the issues with the features that already exist. The more you add, the harder it will be to fix. My company is actively looking for another software to use for e-Learning authoring, because this bug has been present for over a year and nothing has been done to fix it. I'm losing hours upon hours of time and money on each project all because of a glitch in the software that I have no control over.
Storyline 360 is completely unusable at this point.
there is a known documented confirmed bug with "animate by paragraph" in combination with "text styles"
if you open the story file and immediately publish -> animate by paragraph is broken on many lines (and text formating in tables also)
workaround: open .story file, then click or double click one lide (perhaps on multiple slides ???), then publish -> animate by paragraph (and text in tables) is working
cause is an incomplete initialization at the start of storyline !
I can confirm that this kinda works. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt.
yes, there seems more than one problem with "animate by paragraph"
but fixing bug by bug should be done - but articulate will not or cannot fix the error
I'm starting to think articulate has no developer capacity planned for bug fixed
actually even more problematic is the lack of the 64 bit version
Update: and the reaction of articulate to the Firefox "not starting, if audio is used" error is is very disappointing. No fix for existing courses - although it would be possible !!!
Hi Alistair, I totally agree what you said and our thoughts are fully in line with yours. Fixing this bug should be priorotized ahead of developing new features!
