Text appears cut off at bottom of text entry field
I'm using a text entry box for learners to enter a transcript for assessment. Once they have enough text to hit the bottom edge of the text entry, the bottom line appears cut off. My learners will need to type far beyond the size of the box, so once their text has hit the bottom, the last line of their text is always going to look cut off, which is distracting.
I've tried changing the text box format options but no luck. Any ideas?

Was there ever a fix for this? I'm seeing this issue as well. I have just a small text box with one line of text and it cuts off the bottom of the text.
Hi John,
I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue with text boxes! You are experiencing a bug in the software that has already been reported. I'm going to add your voice to the report. If there's any news regarding this bug, this conversation will be updated.
Thanks for letting us know about this!
I am having the same issue.
When I 'record screen' sometimes it automatically creates accurate input text entry sizes (which in this instance it works fine and the text is not partially cut off), but sometimes it just creates a larger text box than needed and I have to shrink it down to the text entry box size I want.
I find that when I have to shrink down the boxes that were generated for me during the recording to be a single line entry - it cuts off the text sometimes.
I did delete the generated entry box and just inserted a new one (getting rid of the default margins and fill color) and that seemed to fix is for now but not entirely sure that it will work like this consistently.Hi AL Dee,

HI BenjaminStro325! Thanks so much for checking in. I know this bug, text getting cut off in entry fields, has been around for a while, and I can see how that’s frustrating.
We’ve logged it, but it’s not currently on our roadmap to fix yet. That said, we’re still tracking how many people are affected, and your follow-up helps us keep that picture clear.
If we do make any changes, we’ll update this thread. Really appreciate you hanging in there with us.
Sure. It's not a huge bug by any means. Just an annoying one because you don't know it's happened until after you've scormed the course and most people when auditing their course don't check this. With that said, I'll either check it going forward or more than likely not even use this feature so I don't have to worry about it. Thanks for the reply.
