Test Entry issues with test mode software simulation
Hi ElizabethGeo811,
This sounds incredibly frustrating, and I'm happy to help!
When you record a screencast in Storyline and insert it into your course as test-mode steps, data-entry fields might be misplaced or the wrong size. The size and location of interactive objects depend on the data communicated by the application you're recording. Some apps are better than others at sharing this information. As a result, you might need to adjust text-entry boxes after you've inserted your screen recording into your course.
I found a similar thread where this user's text entry field was hidden in the top left corner. Are you recording a web browser as they were? If so, please try using Firefox. Google Chrome doesn't do a great job of communicating data to Storyline.
If you need further assistance please feel free to let me and I'll connect you with one of our Support Engineers!
We are having a similar issue when trying to record text entry fields. They either appear as very small in the upper left corner (not on the screen image) or they don't appear at all and the slide shows as a hotspot. It seems to be related to the web-app, rather than which browser. We are using a web-based banking app from fiserv called Navigator.
