Text Entry field in a Software Simulation

Hi, Nora.

Thank you for sharing your .story file!

Which browser did you use for the screen recording? We have a logged bug where Text Entry is misplaced when Recording Screen that was reported when using Chrome, which might be what you are experiencing.

The current workaround is to adjust the textEntry box, which is showing on the top left of your screen.

I moved the box into the right position in the attached file. We'll come back to update you when we have news on this bug.

I Maria/ Nora I am trying to add text entry to my software sim and I am not understanding how to add this to the try me scenes in my slides, any help? Thanks

Hi Anthony!

It sounds like you've already recorded the screen recording and now looking to add text entry fields. Is that correct? 

If they weren't in the original screen recording, then you'll need to manually add them. I'd also consider adding a trigger to pause the screen recording as well until the learner types in the text entry field.

If you want to share your .story file, we're happy to take a look! You can either share it in this discussion or upload it privately in a support case.

Thanks, Lauren I believe I figured it out, I'll add it here for feedback. 

Was this bug recording in Chrome ever fixed?
