Text Area Input - Size and Wrap Issue
Hello,
I added a text area input for a simulation.
It needs to be 50 pixels high, however the text doesn't wrap. (See Issue Image 1)
If I raise the height, then the text does wrap, but then it is too high to fit. (See Issue Image 2)
The issue image 3 has the properties.
Also, when 50 pixels high, the margin at the top does not crest the top as I want it to, instead it is in the middle of the area horizontally.
If I add more height as shown in issue image 2, the text does crest the top as desired (you cant tell in preview mode because the dotted line is now invisible)
Does anyone know why this acts different depending on the height?
Thank you,
Chris
there is a strange automatism in storyline that decides if a text input field wraps automatically
it depends on the height of the input field

- input field height > 70px: text position ok, text wrap ok
- input field height < 70px: text position wrong, no text wrap
the behaviour is independent from the font size:

I don't know if my previous reply went through, but thank you very much for your thorough response. It helped.
