Text alignment changing after publication
I've had problems with text moving around after publication in Presenter, and it appears there's a similar issue in Storyline.
I have a couple shapes with text that are aligned to the middle of the shape. But when I preview or publish the text drifts upwards. Doesn't looks so good.

Hi Steve,
Take a look at this thread. Pay attention to David's answer.

Let me know if that helps,

That's kind of a pain to go through for one slide isn't it?
And it doesn't work:

Hi Steve,
I am taking a look at it myself, to see if I can replicate it within Storyline. Will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi Steve,
OK. I did a Screenr video simulating a box shape with a single text box. I centered the text and made sure the alignment was set to middle. Watch the video and let me know if this helps or if there is something else I am missing.
Thanks,
Adrian

Here's what's happening to me:

Hey Steve,
Do you mind sharing your Storyline file with me, so that I can play with it? I watched your video, but still can't duplicate your problem.

Hi Steve,
Downloaded the files. Thanks for sharing by the way. I previewed it just like you and I have done, and there were no alignment changes for me whatsoever. Everything was as you had setup.
You know what I would try. I would download the file you uploaded, renaming it in the process and see if you still get the same results. If you do, then it must be something with your computer.
Have you tried closing Storyline and doing a reboot of your computer and see if the problem still exists after that. I have had problems like that with other programs, especially when my computer's resources were low after heavy usage.
Let me know,
Adrian

Nope, that didn't work.
I did try setting the top internal margin to 15px(15 pixels is quite an amount of drift) on object's text boxes. That way when published, the text looks right. Kind of a hack, but at least it looks okay.

Hi Steve,
We'd love to be able to take a closer look at this. Mind submitting a case along with your .story file so we can explore it more? Thanks!
