Text Box Settings Change when copy and paste
Is there a way to stop the text box settings from reverting to Add scroll bars when you copy and paste a text box?
That is to say - I want the text box to retain the setting of "Allow text to overflow" when I copy and paste a text box with Fixed Size settings.
The text box always reverts back to add scroll bars. Am I doing something wrong?

just tested with the current storyline version -> no problems with "Allow text to overflow".
I have created a new file with new empty slides and new text boxes -> copy & paste works, "Allow text to overflow" remains the same
what happens if you do the same

Hi Donna,
Thanks for reaching out! I understand that your text boxes aren't retaining the "Allow text to overflow" setting when copying and pasting. After testing this on my end, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior. I'd love to know more about your setup so we can figure this out together.
- Which version of Storyline are you using? I am using Storyline 360 version 3.78.30747.0.
- Is this happening with more than one file or is this the only one?
- Are you working from a shared drive? If so, I recommend saving your files on your local drive before creating, editing, and publishing them. This will help minimize any unexpected behavior.
I look forward to your response!
